: Well, here it is 11:00 AM Monday morning, the market has been
: open for an hour and a half, and there is no sign of a
: crash - in fact the Dow is up 52 points.

It's now about 1:15 Eastern, with less than 3 hours remaining till the market closes. The chart for the day looks like a rubber ball, bouncing, but it's presently at about +40 since the day began.

: Does that mean that the negotiations were successful, or does
: it mean that Raye's sources were pulling her leg, or were
: engaging in the "fear mongering" she says she
: deplores?

: I guess there is no way to know for sure. It does seem,
: though, that RMNews is always warning of some imminent

: disaster, and that none of them come to pass.

(Thank God!) But this is why we're here, isn't it? Because Rayelan's information is not the same as what's found everywhere else? I think she's indicated that, often, she's not able to tell evrything she knows. And sometimes her sources are handing her information, specifically so it _will_ come into public awareness, in order to head-off one kind of catastrophe or another. I think there are probably some people reading these messages who recognize when some bit of information is posted here specifically for _them_, and they understand maybe where the information is coming from.

: ...so), so another "start of armageddon" was
: averted. Two in one day, not bad!

I agree: a nice day's work (and certainly preferable to the alternative!)
