This was left out of Original Post: FALLING NASDAQ CAUSE OF CANCELLATIONS?

Here is what Jack has to Say:

I could suggest that while lots of unsatisfactory ways to
: celebrate WACO / OKC / Columbine were in the planning process
: the NASDAQ has made such celebrations NOT WISE.....NOT WISE
: at all.
:
: I do not give these obscenely evil guilt ridden liberals much
: in the way of intelligence.....but every now and then they use
: poling services and such.....and I would suspect that any

: *useful* poling would show that lots of people are very skeptical
: about lots of things....but are perfectly willing to remain
: skeptical as long as they are becoming instant millionaires
: with their tech / .COM stocks. On the other hand after the
: last two weeks they are much less willing to remain skeptical
: and might become very beligerant if another celebration of
: WACO were to occur when all they can see is losses in every
: direction.
:
: So, maybe all these funny meetings and such were cancelled so
: that some sort of control could get together and decide what
: to turn off and what to leave on that was in the planning stage
: .....and with any luck the morning will open with lots of margin
: calls since the NASDAQ made a new low again today....and the
: psychic environment for celebrating WACO in some new and imaginative brutal way will be even more hostile.....and with
: any luck the powers that be might find that a war will really
: not take peoples minds / attention away from all these losses
: in their portfolios.....and then they will have to find something
: that will divert people from the NASDAQ as well as unwanted
: wars.......
:
: Maybe next week will see lots more meetings cancelled
