Phone Plan Ads with Astro-Equipment Ads?

Gary,
Connect America is my company. The pricing in our industry has always been on the tenths decimal. In large accounts we round the customer bill out to six digits, would you like that instead? ;-]

Long bond yield, comments???

Posted By Brian Sledz
Wellll, me thinks because oil makes up less than 8% of our ecomony now as compared to 24% in the 70s, the hhigher oil prices only really fill the Opec pockets. And I have seen where international interest rates are lower than ours. Couple this with the ability to hedge just about anything and you can make a case for low rates for a while. I doubt Greenspook will start to raise rates to fend off a housing bubble, I think the only policy mistake that man has ever made was to raise rates to cool off the markets during the dot bomb market. He could have easily cooled by raising margin requirements.

How Long Before the S&P 500 Comes Back?

Posted By Brian Sledz
A 20% move? Well it could happen by election day, if we get the FRE and FNM mess behind us, and we get one quarter of any signs of housing prices not spiraling out of control, I say 12 months.
The Fed is engaged now, albeit a year late, so the downside should be rather muted.

OFF TOPIC--Question about definition of "estate"

Posted By Brian Sledz
That is one question for which I would retain a lawyer. I am sure a lawyer registered in TX would know immediately. Normally insurance policy proceeds are excluded from estate taxes.
