Gladiator, excellent opening thought.

 

Bidhitter, thanks for your daily updates. I appreciate seeing your analysis.

 

Thanks to others who post their info too. We start taking people for granted and don't thank them real often -- which is probably as it should be so as not to clutter up the board -- but every once in a while it's good to remind people that we appreciate their opinions.

Does anyone know how to get realtime US Dollar Index quotes for IB?  The Kitco chart seems to always count high, and Deadcharts now displays for a few minutes and then kicks out.

What is up with lycos? It says all data is delayed and kicks off after a couple minutes. Does all data mean the Index's too? :angry:

Just go back :P

Been doing that but it won't allow you to set up your charts for very long. Oh well like the song says "all good things got to come to an end." :cry:

EBAY up 1.58?

 

BRCM at 17.40?

 

Whoever posted that they were waiting for BRCM to hit 18 before shorting -- thanks. Looks like a prescient call.

 

As far as EBAY, there was a re-print of last Sunday's Barrons article (negative on EBAY) in the Minneapolis Sunday paper. Wonder if anybody ran right out this morning to short it.......ke-wham.

Al Green announces 3.5B 10-day repo against 6.75B expiring, net drain 3.25B.

 

LEI report?

The Conference Board announced today that the U.S. leading index decreased 0.2 percent, the coincident index held steady, and the lagging index decreased 0.1 percent in March.

 

The leading index declined for a second consecutive month in March, but the information available so far in April suggests that these declines will not continue. The leading index has been fluctuating around a flat trend since December 2001.

The flatness in the leading index suggests that U.S. real GDP growth will stay in the 2-3% range for now. As long as economic growth is constrained in this range, the labor market cannot improve.

The coincident index has been essentially flat in recent months with gains in income and sales offset by weakness in employment and industrial production. With economic growth at or slightly below potential, the coincident index is unlikely to grow strongly.

Issues with damage control

 

American Airlines faces bankruptcy concerns again this week -- just days after avoiding Chapter 11 -- as unions for its flight attendants, ground workers and mechanics threaten to pull back concessions in anger at lucrative payment plans for American Airlines' top brass. Parent AMR Corp. ended at $5.

 

Down .61 to 4.35 on Island at 8:35.

Was going to short it end of day Friday, but got busy. Look's like it gave back most of the pop from late last week, but wouldn't be surpised to see it base where it is now. I will not be playing this one.
