To all , I forgot to mention if you use Message 9858472 the European market before the open to get a feel for what's coming.. You also need to check , finance.uk.yahoo.com and get the EU / dollar rate. Right now you take the price of the stock and x it 1.046 if it's on the Frankfurt or Paris exchange, but that can change each day so check the Forex. ---------------------- Now the thing that can be misleading is if you see it UP or DOWN over there and don't convert Remember it's up or down in respect to their Last close, They open and close ahead of us so say Dell is EU 33.10 , down .20 , but that makes her 34.6225 US , and we closed at 34.4375 so she is really UP from our close , so don't jump to conclusions if you see them saying UP or Down , convert it and look at our close. BTW they will be trading TODAY so this should be very interesting finance.uk.yahoo.com ------------------------- (1) They won't be getting direction from our market. (2) Will they bite into that phony rally we had late Friday ? (3) If they don't then I expect this market to fall really good. (4) This may confirm what I've been saying about the Foreigner's getting out while the dollar is high and why our blue chips went down even when money was going into funds.. Jim

OT You can also thank Creemspan for bailing out his investment banking fraternity friends last summer on the LTCM fiasco. Here's an interesting piece of non-essential history I picked up this weekend. AG is my grandmothers first cousin! I know you think he's the evil emperor from star wars, but at least he warns people the markets are full of &^%&%it! PS the LTCM bailout was a pile of doo-doo. Wouldn't want the bankers realizing any risk! Talk about a free ride.
