Yes...The instrumation went kuput! Sounds like another "we don't know what caused it! But she ain't Y2K".

It is also rather convient (sp) that OPEC has once again recanted their increased production fore casts.. Gasoline here has gone up 20 cents in the past week. And it is going higher, I fear.

These guys are so back-logged with "Under Ivestagation"'s its pathetic. The ONLY reason oil prices ever went back down was due to here-say in the March OPEC meeting. That increase should JUST NOW be getting to retail markets from increased production shipments back in March....go-figure.

Mr. Shakey, the prices do seem to be rising. From one shirt-tail to another , what information can we gather from expert from another, to ease the transaction? Shakey, as novices to the game, where in, shall we lie, our money?

My Dear Instant,

Every thing I own is out of the reach of the stock market..Got out last year. And I rather doubt seriously if I will ever be able to go back into it ( if it is still in exhistance 6 months from now) Which, from the way things are building up on the international scene. There well may not be a stock market period.....
