5. What about the rate cut and tax rebate?

Why isn't it working. The economy is strong and so are we.

What's a little debt between friends?

17. Here was my prediction this morning....

I'll bet they let the markets fall to about -400 or so, then they'll pull it up to -200.

Let it drop to -300...pull up to -200...

End of day: -200

16. They're probably buying their own stock ??

To keep it from totally collapsing? We should put the SS fund in the market - that would bring up their numbers.
