Sounds alot like Gary B Smith's style some time ago. Good trading, and good luck.

Any thought given to limiting the number of threads a poster can open?

Perception as good as reality, selling begets selling, an improving economy means interest rates and/or inflation will rise. Inflation should show in the govt. numbers soon, everything going up in price from NYC taxi fares, energy prices, property taxes, to grocery prices, etc. etc.

My first reaction on seeing the desecration in Fallujah was one of revenge and retribution. Usually your first reaction to anything is wrong, to high of an emotional state, not enough time to think things out. Having had time to claim down and think about it, I want revenge and...

Thanks to all that replied:)

Some months ago I bought an IBM computer with Norton factory installed. The subscription expired and everyday I get a renew popup message to renew. I've checked everything about this program in my computer and at Norton's company website to cancel this popup to no avail. Any suggestions?

IMHO Osama will be caught(killed preferably)this year and like Sadam(caught a day or two before made public) the news will be public after the necessary security measures are in place. Can you see the popularity numbers for Bush if it happened before the election?

You are so one dimensional that you will never amount to anything. You haven't lost enough already, you want the markets open Monday. Sorry to be so harsh, but your posts smack of someone so out of touch, and shallow. Never mind.
