MONDAY CLOSE

(stock #'s in %)

Market flat and mixed. Dow down 25. Naz up 22. Volume about normal. Oil back down to $83.

Russia now to send their marines - and helicopters - to Syria. How are we to see that? They totally destroyed Afghanistan peace. Tho no peace in Syria today. If US would have moved in, Russia wouldn't have. And now that they will, US won't. What's Russia's national interest in Syria? A naval base. What's US's? Humanity. Iran containment.

Taliban to ban polio vaccines until drone strikes stop. What the hell drives people to do that to children? Well, maybe constant war and now drones. But, clearly, they still use children as shields. And only know war. Since the USSR invaded.

Yahoo headline: millionaire parents say kids unfit to inherit. Well, WHO'S fault is THAT?!

TX hailstorms may cost $2B.

And a border collie herded tigers in S Africa. There are no tigers in S Africa. Must be a scam hedline. Anybody knows no living thing can herd cats.

BHWX up 26. Up over 50-day lines. A pullout from the dive? Strong volume. ENSL up 25. Looks bottoming out. Pretty cheap at half a cent. The private sector's doing fine. LEOM only up 18 after the morning. Warm up, THEN stretch. A big pullback off day's high. Might want to buy early morn some shares. Fasten seatbelts, A? At least volume was in hundreds of K's. Previously owned. AMRS up 20. What the hay. Crossed over 50's. Looking long term buy. Like tomorrow on any comeback. Biofuels, man. DSTI up 17. OK. It's just DSTI on 90K shs. No revs, no profits, no news. BOPO up 13 on 13K. Not making a call. AONE up 12 while probably going bankrupt. Or is that a crap trap? Is this the election battle baby? A DOE loan comp. New breakthrough so it's said. But revs and profits is reality. NPWZ up 11. ABAT up 6. I think it's a buy. Long term. MXWL up 2. I did say at open that it was a buy. Not a big buy. Only 4%. Today.

ECOS down 25. Nearing bottom again. TRKP down 23. AMLM down 22. VNDB down 21. CPWY down 16. AMEL, OOIL, VSPC down 13. Might keep eye on AMEL. ZAAP down 12. SLMU down 11. MGLT, WWPW down 10.
