When the market was swing up last week, I predicted that we would be reading and hearing about new tapes from al Qaeda, Ben Laden and $oddomite.

One can only wonder how much Soros pays for these monthly gloom and dooms to knock the world markets down and our markets down.

Of course as soon as they published overseas, Soros's paid stringers post the latest mythical tape story on FR. Then Soros's gloomers and doomers chime in warning us of the upcoming doom.

[Grampa Dave]

Soros's buddies, al Qaeda, have done their job for him this month with their latest tape.

As usual, the markets panic and tank 2-4% when these old lies/myths are recycled.

The mutual funds were playing fast and loose all during the '90s, but no one investigated them during the "Clinton boom." In fact, he couldn't be removed from office because the stock market was so high, remember? No, Spitzer and the MA Attorney General waited until it looked like the economy and the market was coming back during Bush's watch so this would put a damper on the market. Who cares which investors and pension funds get hurt as long as the left's political agenda moves forward?

One really has to suspect the timing of these events as you have noted.

A younger relative said that it reminded him of the piling on of Microsoft by all the various state AG's.

[Grampa Dave]

Well, the Islamofascist trolls working for Soros have given the world another Holiday present.

[Grampa Dave]

This repeating cycle of the latest al Qaeda tape or $oddomite Tape has me thinking the best way to buy each month on a dip is the second day after the latest mythical tape hits the main press.

Looks to me like you and Grampa "Rantma" Dave have got things pretty much "figured out!" And I couldn't agree MORE!!!

Holiday Greetings From al Qaeda

Merry Christmas to you too, Al!

Give my best to Mrs. Qaeda.

[Grampa Dave]

I like the Christmas time greeting that we sent to old Benny Laden two years ago in December in his cave in Afghanistan.

This falls right in line with what you are saying:

11:10AM Dollar tumbles over political concerns, trade issues by Rachel Koning

CHICAGO (CBS.MW) -- The U.S. dollar turned sharply lower Tuesday, falling more than 1 percent against the euro in recent dealings amid a host of factors. The euro was recently up 1.2 percent at $1.1886, with significant buying kicking in above the $1.18 level. The Treasury Department reported a fall in foreign demand for U.S. securities, cutting the need for dollars. Also, the Bush administration said it was examining Chinese textiles in response to U.S.-based requests for temporary quotas. That development comes at a sensitive time for U.S. trade over steel tariffs that risk unsettling regular dollar flows tied to trade. Analysts said ongoing flight-to-safety demand for the European currencies as terrorism and war risks pressure U.S. assets was also contributing to the dollar's tumble. The greenback fell 0.5 percent vs. the yen at 108.26 yen. The dollar fell 1.1 percent against the Swiss franc at 1.3087 francs.

Sounds like Soros is again playing the Euro against the $.

Maybe Putin will make a pet out of Soros and keep him on a chain in Moscow for entertainment.

I'll have a blue Christmas without you
I'll be so blue thinking about you
Decorations of red
On a green Christmas tree
Won't be the same
If you're not here with me

And when those blue snow flakes start falling
And when those blue memories start calling
You'll be doing all right with your Christmas of white
But I'll have a blue, blue, blue, blue Christmas

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

Decorations of red
On a green Christmas tree
won't mean a thing
If you're not here with me

I'll have a blue Christmas, that's certain
And when that blue heartache starts hurtin'
You'll be doing all right
With your Christmas of white
But I'll have a blue, blue Christmas

Mmmm

That what you wanted Dave?

[Grampa Dave]

You have made my pre holidays so happy with that great lyric and picture!

Nothing warms one's heart more these great old lyrics being recycled during this season.

[ASA Vet]

That tune will now be repeating over and over in your head.

1:08PM Fed's Santomero predicts 2004 'will be a good year' by Greg Robb

WASHINGTON (CBS.MW) -- The economy has begun to gain momentum and this should carry over into next year, said Anthony Santomero, the president of the Philadelphia Federal Reserve Bank. "I expect economic growth to continue at a healthy pace as we move into the new year," Santomero said in a speech to the Philadelphia Estate Planning Council. "From an economic perspective, I believe 2004 will be a good year," he said. Growth in GDP and employment will persist, "though it will take some time before the economy reaches full potential output," he said. Santomero reiterated a comment made last Friday that he does not think any Fed rate hike is necessary "in the near future." But he stressed that the current low level of interest rates "cannot be maintained indefinitely."

And I say... Don't be caught in bondage with interest rates destined to begin rising early next year!!! Especally Collateralized Mortgage Obligations (CMO's)!!!

Excellent advice.
