This is a company which closely indicates what direction the market is moving. Since its recent write downs it has become even more attractive and should recover fully to reach $36 once again. Its large diversification provides investors with a complex but well organized company in a variety of industries.

A. bunny, don't know if you watched cnbc
last night, but they had some good ideas
that might be used. one of the best is a
cds clearing house thatr will provident
a 3rd party and transparency to that
whole market. traders seem to think that
this is where the system is stuck since
its guessed that theres 60 trillion
wrapped up in it. this morning the cme
is in talks with fed about setting up
that type of market. head of cme was on
last night and was very positive about
this avenue. i see market sentiment as
positive this morning. i think we're
close to pricing in all the fears mr.
market thinks are out there. we're
allready up 50 before open so i can't
guess on open. how bout, i think we
close up for the day. mike
