Carl, if you've recently battled a virus or reinstalled software, you may have lost your 128 bit high security encryption. Without this you will not be able to log into secure sights.

Isn't that the ipo (LVS) they were pricing at $20-24?........wow, now pushing $49....exuberance?

Kalico,it's been said the only time the herd is in control of the market is in a panic.....up......or down, perhaps you're right, the boyz have now learned their lesson in losing control to the upside.

Welles, on brainwashing.......... the human mind and stomach are very similar, they will attempt to digest anything put in them........the only difference..........the stomach has the occasional bowel movement. <gg>

Scary scary scary to witness minds degenerating.

Bagholders are buying now.......Zeev is holding a bag........of money.<gg>

Perhaps the reason the terrorist talk is over is because the election is over. <gg>

Speaking of predispositions......When I went to school in my adolescent years (now 69) the teachers would sneak up behind me, while I was sitting at my desk doing my school work, and strike me on my hand with a ruler. They were trying to break me of the habit of using my left hand at the age of 6 and 7. I remember the punishment well, though to this day, I still use my left hand as my "right"

Skono4, the behavior you described would fit many things including the "taking on of religion".........homosexuality however, I believe, is a hormonal thing which is hard to escape. JMHO

Zeev, they should let the contract to IGT for manufacture of the new voting machines.......seems slots are more reliable and more stringently regulated than the present voting machines........perhaps lift IGT out of the basement as well. <gg>

YES "Halliburton was the only contractor that could do the work.”

What I have problems fathoming is........we have a multitude of defense contractors who bid competitively on government contracts. Besides making the smartest bombs, they are capable of sending satellites and people to the far reaches of outer space. Yet we have only one company ,Haliburton, that is capable of making sandwiches to feed the troops?

Zeev, isn't the end of this month, year end, for the Fundies.....perhaps there will be some window dressing associated with it.

Zeev, do you think igt will reach that gap at $30-31 anytime soon or do you feel it's a breakaway gap?

Zeev, they could craft an ad around "staying the course" also.........wasn't it the captain of the Titanic that uttered those words as well"?

Rat, thanks for the heads up on EBAY a while back!

OT - How do they determine whether female or male names are used to name hurricanes?

Yes.......I'm in.

Wow.......that was quite a pop in TERN.

Perhaps we get the real run next week........they want optimism to reign exiting the RNC.........all about polls and ratings. <gg>

maybe it's "da_chief" in disguise. <gg>

Fred - Puti, the French, Germans, were waist deep in Iraq while the U.S. was pushing for sanctions. When the big oil boys in Texas realized what was going on, they began to scramble, Woila, we got dubya. Could "going in alone" have been a deliberate strategy? jmho

LG - The last guy who pulled that trick wrote something like "watch out, this guy is following you around the net" <gg>

Bullwinkle, speaking of cliche's........."new highs beget new highs"........the second $GOLD top is higher than the first!

Zeev, correct me if I'm wrong but Kyoto simply monetizes pollution..........does it not permit buying and selling pollution credits.......are they listed on the CBOE yet <gg>

fishweed

Zeev - Yes I did board IGT pennies above you........but I was preoccupied with a solar play (eslr) I've been playing from just under $2.........shot up to $5 on news this morning........had to take profits. <gg>

Thanks for the input on IGT, to da moon, appreciate that!

fishweed

Zeev - when would you consider IGT a buy again?

thanks
fishweed

IGT hit its numbers, quarterly profit up 34% seeing "sell the news"...........

Patrick - It appears, since the 2000 bubble heyday, the boyz are trying to take the "panic" out of buying and selling. Hence the so-so readings on many indicators. jmho

Zeev, you still in IGT? It's been a tower of strength.

Is that a "Timber"?.............<gg>

Max pain on INTC is around 27.50.......might have something to do with it.

Marketmaven - maybe what your getting with g-mail is "homeland security" in disguise...............<gg>

Zeev, are you looking for a re-entry into DROOY and if so, at what level?

Thanks
fish

Has SI been halted, suspended or delisted? Haven't been able to access since yesterday! <g>

OT selling roses - Don't forget the buyers don't see each other, the sellers don't see each other and the the buyers and sellers don't see each other, but you can see them all, so........................you sternly tell the buyers there was a frost last night and there is a great shortage of roses and they must pay double the price, then.........................you throw your arms in the air like a turnips farmer and tell the sellers you have much too many roses and can only pay half the price..............voila!!!!

NGEN, up in pre market on new patent.........

"The '473 patent builds upon our previous nanotechnology patents by describing nanofabrication and assembly approaches using photonics to create guiding electronic fields," said Howard C. Birndorf, Nanogen chairman and chief executive officer. "This technology would allow us or others to create very small scale electronic arrays where the addressable fields are independent of preset platform designs and could greatly increase the flexibility of manufacturing and use of electronic arrays."

Bearmove - We may not see an AQ attach on U.S. soil before the election..........if indeed we do, it may assure a Bush victory.........justifying all of his "emergency" measures. JMHO
