Sgolds, - I think the market is more upset about verificaton of Windows XP64 delay, overiding any benefit from Sempron announcement. Not that Sempron announcement wold be likely to generate any great enthusiasm anyway.
As for the market, I think it's in a funk about the Democratic National Convention, as the attacks on Bush seem to give a boost to Kerry's chances of winning this Fall. I believe the conventions usually give a boost to their candidate's ratings, and Bush is perceived as being better for business and the market. Hopefully the market will get over it next week.
Over here in the UK most folks I meet don't care about Bush's market effects, they just don't care for Bush. They think of him as a semi-illiterate cowboy and joke about his lack of eloquence. They rate him very poorly compared to past presidents, most of whom they generally admire.
Nice to see the dollar strengthen a little today. Don't know why, but I'll take it.....
