    Default It got quiet quick...

    Does everybody go to lunch at the same time or what?
    Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but rather we have those because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.
    - -- Aristotle

    Believe nothing on the faith of traditions, even though they have been held in honor for many generations and in diverse places. Do not believe a thing because many people speak of it. Do not believe on the faith of the sages of the past. Do not believe what you yourself have imagined, persuading yourself that a God inspires you. Believe nothing on the sole authority of your masters and priests. After examination, believe what you yourself have tested and found to be reasonable, and conform your conduct thereto.
    - -- The Buddha

    It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.
    - -- Aristotle

    Bush doubled the debt from 5 trillion to 10 trillion.
    Proving tax cuts work!

    Bush asked for and signed for the TARP money.
    The Republican senate leader backed Bush on this.

    I'm on drugs. I'm phasing in & out at this point.

    I think Darla is at a meeting. Dixie probably can't post because his vision is clouded by tears of joy about a candidate that he said was too inexperienced & wondered "what the hell McCain was thinking" in choosing her just a week ago...

    I had to go to a meeting, but I got a bagel out of it. I'm really hungry too.

    Yeah one of the few disadvantages of working from home. Meeting snacks.
    And definately no good bagel shops in the sticks of KY.
    Jew boy doughnuts.

    Part of it, I have to see the ticker everyday when I boot up the company intranet. You see the price fall again? lol

    This one doesn't make much sense, the last fall was typical though. Still saying $60 by end of year

    It makes sense from a technical level. As I mentioned the last time we talked about it... it broke a double bottom. It had a dead cat bounce back up to the $50 range, but the technicals were still broken and down it went. Current tech target is about $26-27.

    Fundamentally, I would agree with you, it should be back up to $60 within the next six months or so. (not sure if it will make it by years end)
