Guest Posted March 20, 2004 Report Share Posted March 20, 2004 MWH, Thought of you and WH when I read these. Barbara Walters of 20/20 (USA) did a story on gender roles in Kabul several years before the Afghan conflict. She noted that women customarily walked about 5 paces behind their husbands. She returned to Kabul recently and observed that women still walk behind their husbands, but now seem to walk even further back and are now happy with the old custom. Ms. Walters approached one of the Afghani women and asked. "But why do you now seem happy with the old custom that you used to try and change?" "Land mines," said the woman An old couple goes to a sex doctor and asks him to watch them have sex. He watches and sees no problem and tells them everything looks fine. The next week, same thing happens. Same routine. The doctor watches again, says everything looks fine. This happens a few more weeks and the doctor finally says.... "I don't understand. Week after week you come here and I tell you everything is okay. Just what is the problem......?" "Well, Doc. You see, we are not married, so we can't go to my house or to hers. The Holiday Inn charges $75.00 and the Hilton charges $120.00. We're both retired and we don't have much money. You charge $50.00 and Medicare sends us a check for $43.00."

wrecked him Posted March 20, 2004 Report Share Posted March 20, 2004 Madame and I went to see about purchasing and installing a new gas fireplace. We live in a fairly old house and have no intention of moving as we are very happy with the location. Neither of us has any interest in building a new home. So we walk into the store. We get the usual blah blah blah about this fireplace versus that one, etc and then the salesman tells us that the price of steel in his business has increased by 30% and that his contractors won't even give him a price in advance. Same thing with copper. Our current fireplace which is currently a giant hole in the wall needs some structural support for the newly installed one. So bottom line is that he can't tell us for sure how much this is going to cost until he places the order. So, I tell the guy that I'm best buddies with A. Greenspan and that Alan has assured me that the PPI has only gone up by .6%, with steel mill products up 4.9%, and is he trying to pull a fast one on us? I mean, how can this be? The salesman tells me that he doesn't know who this Alan Greenspan is but that's the way it is. I reply that I am indignant at his attitude and will be passing on his poor behavior to my friend Alan, who I am sure will not be ordering a natural gas fireplace from this fellow Anyway I've fixed the problem. I've got four hamsters on a treadmill and I'm using the energy produced to heat our living room. Seems to be working out OK but they want health benefits and insurance and I'm thinking seriously of outsourcing this to Chinese poodles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brian4 Posted March 20, 2004 Report Share Posted March 20, 2004 I think Monday is when this market really blows-technically its done but there is also a ton of extraneous factors out there which are set to collide head on with the house of cards. Europe is covered with demonstrations today against and on the anniversary of Shrub and Tonys excellent adventure, which will only stoke the rise of anti- Americanism in Europe. Europe already has a wide range of punitive duties in place on U.S. goods and is now taking dead aim on Microsoft. Senators over on this side of the pond are falling all over themselves to punish those Countries "with unfair Trade Practices" because of the massive loss of Manufacturing jobs so you can see where this is heading.

machinehead Posted March 20, 2004 Report Share Posted March 20, 2004 I think Monday is when this market really blows-technically its done but there is also a ton of extraneous factors out there which are set to collide head on with the house of cards. Its time to grab a chair because the music is about to stop! Sounds right. So far this year, the S&P 500 (the large cap, institutional index) and the Nasdaq 100 (the big techs) both set their intraday lows on March 16th. SPX 3/16 intraday low: 1102.61 (7.17 below Friday's close) NDX 3/16 intraday low: 1394.11 (4.47 below Friday's close) The SOX semiconductor index -- which tracks high-tech speculation -- fell decisively to a new low for the year on Friday. This gives a clue that broader indices may follow. New lows for the year are obviously within easy reach (less than 1% drop) for both NDX and SPX. A sequence of new lows in SOX, NDX, and SPX would send a TRIPLE-CONFIRMED message: stomp this POS with both feet. I won't need directions to scrape it off my heels ... :wink2: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The End Posted March 20, 2004 Report Share Posted March 20, 2004 The call is still for a move to 1088-1096 or a move to 1137. After Friday, I will lean on the side of the former. If that gets taken out, 1050-1060. Where is that confounded 200-150sma. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dogsie Posted March 20, 2004 Report Share Posted March 20, 2004 This is what showed up in today's Report on Business, Canada's very mainstream business paper: Stephen Roach, chief economist at broker Morgan Stanley, is among the most vocal Fed outsiders pushing for a pre-emptive Fed rate hike -- in spite of the worst job creation slump since the Second World War. "It is now time to reload the monetary cannon," insisted Mr. Roach, who urged the Fed to immediately hike its key rate to 3 per cent in a recent open letter to Mr. Greenspan. "A failure to do so . . . is a recipe for an endless succession of asset bubbles." http://www.globeandmail.com/servlet/Articl...0//?query=roach Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
