Irrational Exuberance: Deja-vu All Over Again?
February 21, 2001
"Slump? I ain't in no slump. I just ain't hittin," explained famous philosopher, Hall of Fame ballplayer, and pennant-winning Manager (for the both the Yankees and Mets), Lawrence "Yogi" Berra, when asked about a long dry spell at the plate.

After a big January pop, the COMP ended the month 46% off its March 2000 peak, and then proceeded to lose another 16% from its January 31 level.

 Dance of Oil
December 7, 2000
It looks as if oil politics could be the vehicle for George W. Bush to define his administration's geo-strategic principles, solidify support in Congress, reward his supporters in the energy "bidness" and unify the country behind his foreign policy, just as it was for his father.
