Skeet, I'm beginning to worry about one of us, if not both. I think I understood that post. <gg> -- Scary! Probably the best thing to do is take tomorrow off, and go see Matrix. Then you will understand that it is all a computer enhanced graphic display. I always see it as three options: 1) my analysis is true no matter what I hear from the gurus, 2) my analysis is false and I should have listened to the gurus, or 3) none of us has a clue. Unfortunately, the gurus you see on the TV wouldn't need to be gurus if their analysis was correct; they would be former or retired gurus. Care to add other potential options? Maybe I'm too cynical and the TV gurus are donating their time in the public interest. I frequently wonder why I can't be just like the other folks. Just put your money in the mutual fund flavor of the month, go bowling on Tuesday and Thursday nights, play poker on Friday, and go to church on Sunday. I guess Robert Kennedy said it best: Some people see things that are and ask why; I see things that never were and ask why not? Berney

Skeet, Top Ten Responses to a 500 Point Sell-off 1. It was a result of traders' squaring their positions. 2. This is a normal correction in a healthy bull market. 3. We were expecting a worse sell-off, we were lucky on this one. 4. Wait a few days and we will see the market back to it's old levels. 5. Greenspan will HAVE to lower rates NOW. 6. It was a result of triple witching expiration of options and futures. 7. The conjunction of Jupiter and Mars has ughly market implications. 8. We are in a 5th wave down situation which soon will reverse. 9. Market rotation frequently results in strong sell-offs. 10. Irrationational exhuberance is the pits! Bill

Skeet, In other words, the Efficient Market Theory has become law and there is now way you can tame this animal? <g> BK
