FYI...might want to look at the chart from yesterday. Good volume. Maybe this one will make it. Enron hurt a LOT of folks unnecessarily.

Dreman Value Management just bought 8 million + shares of Mirant. Wonder what they know? Mirant made a profit of 32 million in the second quarter, Ernest, while Calpine had a loss. Turn around?

It's good to see Mirant turning a profit, modest as it is. What this economy needs is everyone generating healthy profits.
