<lol>hi steve
Fox...We deceive you decide, if I may quote Chris
sorry thread does any one here have problems posting b4 they r ready to i didn't even get my message finished and it was sent twice anyway this is the completed version.......................News...TV..days ago we found weapons grade plutonium in Iraq, unsafe levels to hot for protective suits. Only heard it once and haven't heard anything since. Resembles Yellow journalism
To finish up on what every one seams to be dancing around with, the witch hunt, the hook IE: Osoma, started out as a terrorist hunt and probably +/- justifiable,
We could not set that hook in Iraq without a barb, "weapons of mass destruction". Seams we now have a treble hook with Syria and North Korea. I don't know, I keep missing the debriefings. They stopped inviting me after I sarcastically answered Allen's Greenspan’s Question with, "just lie through your teeth, nothing any different than you've been doing", when he asked, "what do I tell them?"(G)
Lets come out and say it, “the witch hunt/hook/oil/control/Bush agenda” When the democrats held office I new I was not a democrat. Now I know I’m not a republican. Just one pissed off trader
Speaking of hooking them, the Salmon are running in OR.

Los Angeles Daily News Fed extends rescue plan
'Experimental moves' may head off recession
By Martin Crutsinger
Associated Press
Monday, April 07, 2003 - WASHINGTON -- Confronting new fears of recession, the Federal Reserve is refining an emergency economic rescue plan that includes further interest rate cuts and billions of dollars in extra cash for the banking system.
The Fed's effort would be aimed at pulling the country out of a nose dive that has seen 465,000 jobs evaporate in just the past two months, raising fears among economists that the weak recovery from the 2001 recession is in danger of stalling out altogether.
"Clearly, the Fed is in uncharted territory," said economist David Jones. "I think they will try some experimental moves."
One key element hasn't been used successfully in a half-century.
Based on comments by Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan and other Fed officials, the central bank is expected to move beyond its traditional buying and selling of short-term Treasury securities held by banks to the direct purchase of longer-term securities in an effort to influence long-term interest rates.
Also, Fed officials have indicated they are prepared in the event of an unexpected shock to the system to lend massive amounts of money directly to commercial banks to make sure that financial markets do not freeze up.
And as a third policy option, Fed officials have indicated they would explicitly state that if the federal funds rate is moved below its current 41-year low of 1.25 percent, it is likely to stay at the lower level as long as needed to get the economy on its feet -- which would help investors' worries about a sudden jump in interest rates down the road.
The fact that Fed officials have been so open in discussing these options underscores the need the central bank sees to restore investor confidence that has been shaken by the fact that the Fed's aggressive two-year campaign to cut short-term rates has yet to produce a sustainable economic recovery. The Fed's target for the federal funds rate, the interest that banks charge for overnight loans, is now at a 41-year low of 1.25 percent.
"The Fed is trying to buck up fragile confidence," said Mark Zandi, chief economist at Economy.com. "They know that everyone is asking the question, what can be done if the U.S. economy slides back into a recession and it ignites a deflationary cycle?"
In a December speech in New York, Greenspan noted that the Fed from 1942 to 1951, as part of an agreement with the White House, successfully capped long-term Treasury yields at 2.5 percent as a way to hold down borrowing costs to finance World War II.
However, private economists note that a later Fed effort dubbed "Operation Twist" -- in which the central bank sold short-term Treasury securities and bought long-term securities in the early 1960s in an effort to influence rates at both ends of the yield curve -- was judged to be a failure because the central bank did not make the transactions in large enough amounts.
"If you want to produce results, you have to convince markets that you are serious and will do whatever it takes to alter the rate structure," said former Fed board member Lyle Gramley.
The Fed made just such a massive response on Sept. 12, 2001, the day after the terrorist attacks, when it lent a record $46 billion to banks in a single day to keep the financial system functioning.
Fed officials have indicated that their battle plan has been influenced heavily by reviewing the mistakes made by the Bank of Japan, which has been unable to jump-start that country's economy over a decade despite driving short-term interest rates to zero. Fed officials believe the Bank of Japan's biggest mistake was being slow to respond after that country's real estate bubble burst in the late 1980s.
Vincent Reinhart, the Fed's top monetary policy staffer, told an economic conference recently that the Fed is striving to act pre-emptively before falling prices become entrenched.
"The best policy for dealing with deflation is to avoid it strenuously by acting pre-emptively," he said.
Because of this, some economists believe the Fed will not wait until its May 6 meeting to put its plan into effect, opting to cut the federal funds rate through an emergency conference call, possibly as soon as this week.
However, other analysts argue that the Fed will likely wait, hoping that the favorable tide of the war will bolster markets in coming weeks and restore confidence.
"I think they will hold off cutting rates again to see if an early, successful conclusion to the war has the desired effect everybody is hoping it will have," Zandi said.

It is just to timely the way the media releases just the r amount of news to keep this thing afloat at critical points. As I imagine what may be used next, using chemical/man as a reference for market reaction to BREAKING NEWS, finding Sadamised DNA in that gaping hole may do the trick or will he end up like Hitler or Osoma for years to come? Vanished!
I’m beginning to think "must be something to this *P* thing"

Remember when I posted "ok get ready to get your leash jerked"
I ended up buying calls yesterday also qavfa june 27's...I'm not surprised to see the futures up this am and I'm not sure how I'm going to play this... I've looking at 1991 charts although the economy isn't the same "not as bad then as it is now" I can't help to notice similarities. Something else to many people "verbal people not actual IE(P/C)", want to see this thing go down.
I bought calls last week also.
Same bat-time, same-bat channel as the last to Months, again I found myself looking at max pain and worrying about my hedge calls. A thought came to mind, GOD IT MUST BE TIME TO SELL PUTS AND BUY CALLS. Nothing logical about this market, but then again if you are force fed steroids “forced by the Fed”, you'll get big and ugly too.
get ready for a Leash jerking
I wouldn't be so hard on yourself I bought puts this am... qavuz sept 26's for 2.00/ea...might want to use me as a reverse indicator lately, I've been wrong more often then not. <NG>
<lol> I am begining to like you more&more
Mom sent me this...>
While trying to escape through Pakistan, Osama Bin Laden found a bottle in the sand and picked it up. Suddenly, a female genie rose from the bottle and with a smile said
>"Master, may I grant you one wish?"
"You ignorant unworthy daughter-of-a-dog! Don't you know who I am? I don't need any common woman giving me anything," he barked at her.
>The shocked genie said "Please sir, I must grant you a wish or I will be returned to the bottle forever."
Osama thought a moment. Then grumbled about the impertinence of the woman, and said "Very well, I want to awaken with three American women in my bed in the morning, so just do it and be off with you!"
>The annoyed genie said, "So be it!" and disappeared.
The next morning Bin Laden woke up in bed with Lorena Bobbitt, Tonya Harding, and Hillary Clinton. His penis was gone, his knee was broken, and he had no health insurance
