and this is different from every other management group exactly how?

It's just a particularly egregious example, awarding themselves (or attempting to anyway) huge bonuses after the stock fell from almost 80 to just above 30 (and lower since then), as though they had done something to deserve such bonuses. They didn't. I welcome Carl Icahn's participation.

I took it to mean that Carl knew exactly what the management in the company was doing, digging their greedy hands as deeply into the pot as they could. And that's exactly what was happening too.

Exactly what I meant.

NAHB Home Index versus the S&P 500

Ladies and gentlemen,

Below is a link to a chart in regards performance of the NAHD Home Index versus the S & P 500 for the last 10 years. I need not bother you with written details. The freightening pattern depicted in the chart says it all.

Now Jack, everyone knows it's different this time....<g>

Coincidentally, I just happened to find this story about that correlation between the housing market and the S&P 500 while browsing through the news this morning. It's an interesting read.

INTC's quad core.

INTC is near dialy high on huge volume after CEO at the IDF forum in San Francisco announced the release of first quad core computer this coming November!!! This is a huge blow to AMD... No one thought the release was going to be that early.

[Rob]

This is awesome news, Jack. The story I read said that the quad-core chip coming in November is for gaming computers, while the mainstream quad-core should be coming to market in the 1st quarter.

You know what that means? Those Google searches that return millions of results in about a thousand nanoseconds will be able to return them in about 700 nanoseconds.

Tso

TSO is a short here...interesting phenomena I'm seeing. The chart is bearish and crude is down while the underlying shares are up. This is just an oversold adjustment.

Rob, Otellini sure shocked everyone when he made the announcement about releasing quad core this Nov... Everyone's jaw dropped.
