    Dollars for Dishwashers - wonder if there is anything else I can help my neighbor buy. Or should I say is there anything else we can charge to our grandkids?

    Greed has been around for a long time. It will pop its head up again and again.

    Maybe a reason for continuing jobless claim drop is because the extension of benefits puts your income too high to draw food stamps. Go figure! The gov't gives with left hand and takes with the right.

    Most boards are a joke. They are paid big bucks and only work a day or two a month. Check out any major corporation and see what they pay their board members. Many board members have full time jobs and it ain't being a member of the board. The only thing crazier than the board is the compensation committee. "You vote to pay me more and I'll vote to pay you more". The real problem is the major stock holders - funds. Most fund managers don't have the time or even care how the CEO's run things. Does the replacement of the GM CEO by the government have to have the "advice and consent" of the Senate?(G)

    I agree with your RTM. The markets tend to overshoot and those sectors that have fallen the farthest will come back the most. The question is which sectors will comeback the fastest. D/C is one measure for stocks. What about cash flow in the tight lending market?

    Winner, you hit the nail on the head. Bill has made his bucks and is now doing good things with it. MSFT under $18 is a steal.

    I think Congress needs to hold hearings on why the price of oil is so low. Is it those short sellers? We cannot have the price of gasoline so low maybe Congress will increase the gas tax. Every penny drop in gasoline is the equivalent of $1B stimulus.

    If Kuwait is backing out of deal with DOW because of oil price too low, does that signal low oil is here to stay for awhile?

    It took the market a generation to recovery from the '29 crash. We could be talking the Letter M. Ofcourse, if you don't put direction and time in the same forecast any will work.

    How much time do customers spend filling out the surveys? I get it down ASAP so I can get the discount then move on. I doubt the reliability of such a survey.
