Mlsoft--LOL...the jokes on me. I guess I should read every post on this thread so as to not play the dunce. <GG> But I must surely protest the comparison of duck to liver...I just hate liver!!!!!

Best,

Guess you never had the roast duckling with black cherry sauce at the Old Riverton Inn in Connecticut. Fantastic!

BTW. Wasn't yesterday's ramp job one of the best you've seen lately? From 3:35 to 3:55, the DJIA went from -50 to +10. I was busy shuffling some papers and almost missed it.

Perhaps as an old hand, you can confirm something for me? If you buy shares of a dividend-paying stock before the close on the day before it goes ex-dividend and then sell the shares sometime on the x-div. date, do you get the dividend? I've always thought this was so. I hope I am not missing something?

OK. rally over. Back to the bear for the next few months?

Sadly I think we don't get out of this till Nov 04. Nice guy just unlucky like his Dad was when it came to the economy.
