    <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Listen, folks, anyone who thinks we could have 
    another 1987 crash is a lunatic.&nbsp; This slot market, I mean stock market 
    is going up, up, up.&nbsp; The law of gravity, what goes up must come down, 
    does not apply to the slot,&nbsp;er,&nbsp;stock market.&nbsp; P/E ratios 
    unheard of levels, indicies reaching all time highs, every one plowing all 
    their savings into the tulip bulbs, I mean stocks, this market is headed for 
    36,000 by 2,002.&nbsp; Hey, I've even seen the socker mom on tv, she buys a 
    stock, goes jogging, comes home, logs on, sells and makes a couple of grand, 
    all in one day.&nbsp; This is too easy.&nbsp; You would have to be nuts to 
    buy puts on this market!&nbsp; So what if the markets up %50 in&nbsp;the 
    last two years, this is typical of the market.&nbsp; What was the average 
    rise in the market for the last 70 years,&nbsp;&nbsp; Let's see, the market 
    closed out 1928 at 300, it's now at 11,000, thats 11,000&nbsp;- 300&nbsp;/ 
    71 = average gain per year is 150.7 points.&nbsp; Oh well, who cares about 
    the math when your making money!&nbsp; We are certainly not going to lose 
    50% in the next 6 weeks!</FONT></DIV>
