ANSWERS TO YESTERDAY'S TRIVIA - - - -
--------------
Is the Dow an accurate gauge of the market?
This is controversial. Some financial experts question the
value of the Dow as an accurate indicator of the overall
market. For one thing, the thirty companies on the current
list are largely manufacturing companies. But the majority
of the US workforce is employed by service industries.
Another problem with the Dow is its small size. Because
there are only thirty companies on the index, a dramatic
change in any one of them can dramatically affect the Dow.
The Dow is based on the closing price of a single share of
each company's stock, not on the market value of the whole
company.
In Wall Street lingo, what is a "falling knife"?
Ever buy a stock that is falling in price, in the hopes that
it'll stop plunging and start rising again and you will have
found a bargain? That's called catching a "falling knife" in
Wall Street lingo. You face the risk that the stock will
continue to nose-dive. Wall Street analysts have interesting
lingo. A few others:
Dead cat bounce: When stocks make a slight upward move right
after a steep market decline. Hey, even a dead cat will
bounce if it falls far enough.
Zombie: An insolvent or bankrupt company that continues
day-to-day operations.
Goldilocks economy: The economy of the middle and late '90s.
Not too cold, not too hot, but just right!
Air pocket stock: A stock whose price plunges like a 747
hitting an air pocket. The fall is usually caused by
panicked shareholders rushing to sell after hearing
unexpected bad news.
Wallpaper: Suggested use for stocks of failed companies.

STRANGE BITS AND PIECES!
Ed Cox from San Francisco invented the pot scrubbing S.O.S.
pads in 1917. His wife came up with the name, which stands
for "Save Our Saucepans."
<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>

Be Careful What You Wish For!
There once was this guy that got a dirty old lamp for his
birthday. He cleaned it up and POOF!--out popped a
genie!
"I shall give you three wishes. You may have anything
you like."
So the guys thinks for a minute and says, "I would like
a billion dollars."
"You shall have it," and the genie grants him the wish.
"Anything else?"
The guy thinks for a while. Then, "I would like a VW Bug
with A/C, power locks, power windows, 10-disk changer,
you know the works."
"Your wish is my command. What is your last wish?"
"Hmmm. I think I'll save it for a rainy day."
"OK, suit yourself," says the genie.
So the guy gets in his new VW and goes for a drive to
show all his friends. He turns on the radio. There's a very
familiar commercial on. The guy starts singing to it:
"I wish I was an Oscar Meyer Wiener."
While the joke above might serve as an introduction to the
subject the advice in the title is nonetheless sound advice.
Many of us have an image of "being rich" without having
any real idea what that means. I don't know how many
times I have heard "When I win the lottery ..." only to find
the end result is one has spent $10 or $20 for nothing.
The only ones getting rich are the lotteries.
However, what would you do if you did win a lottery?
Suddenly you would not have to work anymore, that's one
thing, but that is one of the bitter pills. When you no longer
maintain your discipline, your sense of regimen, your
purpose, you have lost life. When that happens you flounder
and, like every other big lottery winner you proceed to destroy
you marriage, your relationships, your life.
One of the problems is that one who has no money has no
idea how to handle large amounts of money. They just don't.
That is a learned thing. It has to be acquired over years. If
you think otherwise you are fooling yourself.
That is why success at what you do is more valuable than
to win a lottery. You learn over time and become used to
the fruits of success. The joke above reveals what happens.
The mindset of the individual was not consistent with the new
condition. He went right on doing what he used to do, hum
and sing to the catchy commercial when he should have
been attentive to the new condition. You think thats a joke?
You should see the decisions that are made by those who
fall into sudden money without them having experience first.
Be Careful What You Wish For!

MEDICAL COLUMN - - - - by Karin Henderson
Blood, Its Circulation And Its Pressure
PART 1 of 8
Did you know you can stop and check your blood pressure when you
shop for groceries? You may not want to, but the opportunity is
available in stores that provide pharmacies. And why would you
want to do that? Why should you be interested in something
called " blood pressure"? Or "the pressure of blood"??? I
receive emails from many people for a variety of reasons. In the
course of a conversation, I may ask what their blood pressure
is. I will get answers like "it's fine", or "it's perfect" or
"the doctor says it's excellent". Few people can give me actual
numbers. Later when you might suspect something is not quite
right, you have nothing to compare it to. You need to know and
understand the actual readings: the upper (systolic) reading and
the lower (diastolic) one.
As always, with these articles, please don't use them to
diagnose or treat yourself. Use the information to educate
yourself. If you recognize something familiar, please have it
checked out by a qualified health care provider. More knowledge
will help you ask better questions.
So let's explore what blood is, how it gets moved around your
body, and how blood pressure relates to it. I'll share the
importance of your blood's "mission" and "function" in your
body.
But before we get too far, we need to understand some medical
terms. It will help you see why you need to know something more
than just being told "it's perfect". (I'll also tell you why
your blood doesn't stay in your legs forever if you stand a
lot.) We'll explore the blood's different ingredients and why
they are needed...and how to have them ready in your body. You
may have decided it's time to take control of your health. Blood
is the major body "ingredient" that keeps you alive..

PERCEPTIONS . . . by Ken Darby
-----------------------DISCLAIMER
Some around me think I am an opinionated old goat.
Whether that be true or not I will sometimes, in this column,
talk about things people don't like to talk about - or don't want
out in the open. Take it all with a grain of salt.
Do your own thinking, and don't accept the things I say as
gospel. They are only mental meanderings from a simple soul.
-----------------------END DISCLAIMER
Tip Of The Iceberg
Today there is a news report of Citigroup, the U.S.’s
largest bank, cutting 17,000 jobs over three years.
Read the story title. Does Citigroup know things they aren’t
telling the rest of the world? By shutting down 17k jobs
they are creating an enormous savings while still getting
their hands on your money.
They are retrenching. They are preparing for what they see
as their future. You can bet they are doing other things,
too.
What you see in this news report is only the tip of a very
large iceberg. You can count on seeing much more of this
kind of thing in our future. It will become one of the
triggers to a massive depression, oil shortages and
population increases being others.
Sorry folks. I know I sound like a lunatic in the
wilderness. Yet it is I who has conducted research on these
things over the last year. I had the privilege or the
misfortune of seeing, full bore, what things are coming down
the pipe at us.
Stories like this Citigroup thing would have earlier gone by
without me noticing. However, knowing what I now know it is
easily seen as a precursor of worse things to come.
I encourage all of you to participate on Friday when we
reveal the new book and web site. Staying on top of this
news will be vital to your well being. Get over the fright.
Get over the fear. Get on with life knowing you should begin
planning today for a different life ahead.

WHY DO WE SAY IT?
Lager Beer: How did "lager beer" get that name?
The German word lager means a "storehouse". The barrels of
lager beer are placed in a storehouse for their contents to
age.

HA! HA! HA!
Wife to Husband: If I die, I want you to promise me,
in the funeral procession, you'll let my mother ride
in the first car with you.
Husband: All right, but it will ruin my day.
