			I saw that.    What a load of crap. I also saw some gas stations in the trail of Ike that bumped their prices up to $5.02 a gallon. That is a lot of bling for someone who may have lost their house.    
Deep cleansing breaths. I'll be OK.

			Yeah unfortunately it's not price gouging.  When production numbers drop off due to hurricanes it screws up all the demand, transportation, etc.  
 If you want really see something scary look at the stories about Lehman and Merril today!

			LB is toast.  ML is now a subsidiary of BoA.  ML escaped a snowball rolling downhill list of issues by taking the BoA offer and running.

			Damage done to the refineries and rigs were far less then planned.  If these things cant take a Cat 3 hurricane, then they shouldnt drill/refine in the Gulf.
 Sorry.  If Exxon comes up with another record breaking profit for Q3...expect American's to want blood.

			LB is gone, AIG is down 50%, BoA is down 20%, and WaMu is down nearly 75%. Say goodbye to the American banking institution.

			Not good bye, but a new landscape for sure.
 Still 2+ hrs, but down 275 - 2.58% so far - much less than I expected.

			Thats really not a lot.  The market seems to drop 200 whenever something happens.  People panic and say "WE HAVENT BOTTOMED OUT YET, WE ARE GUNNA GO BACK TOT HE STONE AGE!!"And then next week market will be up 200 pts and they will come out "We have seen the bottom and the market is good, I belive its smooth sailing from here."
 
 And then it goes down 200 pts the next week....

			Drop was 4.42% today, not as bad as I thought (I expected 10%).  But the week is young.  Figure 10%-15% down by end of week.
