No one is buying because they don't trust the company reports, and until this is straightened out and people can be confident they are not going to buy stock.

Personally, I think this was orchestrated by Robert Rubin in order to prop up the market and make X42 look good.

I notice Rubin has been very, very absent from the news.

Exactly, Miss M. The economy of the 90's was designed so the market would implode when UOX42 left office. I have noticed that the biggest failures seem to be the Rah-Rah stocks from companies with no tangible products.

Also, I think the new, ethical tone in the Bush White House has set the stage for all that has happened because the wheeler-dealers knew there would be no one in DC to bail them out with a well-place phone call or two.

Phew! Enough thinking (and posting) for one day. Howdy, everyone!
