    That's great, but when one RAT dies another takes his place.

    True. But some rats are smarter then others. I hope the BIG SMART ONE IS DEAD. I hope his death was painful and slow.... If he is dead...

    I got my Typhoid shot today; a fitting occasion to celebrate. Anyone in his superior military inform him about preventative medicine? Pretty smart guy. Good riddance if it's true.

    I had to fight a rat that was stealing my bird's food. It chose to die underneath the deck, gave us 48 very foul hours. My god!

    Lots of things come to mind when I hear Bin Laden is dead, first of course is good riddance. Second…is he martyred? I don’t think so. Also, the rumor was started by the French. Maybe they wanted to surrender and screwed up!

    If he is dead, what’s the impact on the market?

    Dead or alive now? Who knows? I think it is possible his whereabouts were known. You can learn alot about things by infiltrating, sitting back and watching as opposed to moving in and disrupting. The terror network is global. Gaining info if key. There is alot happening that we dont know about. That probably a good thing. No attacks on American soil since Sept 11 2001. Somebody is doing something right.

    That cracked me up.

    As for the effect on the market, if the rumor persists or is even confirmed by Monday morning, then there will likely be ahuge run up early that could easily be sold off by the end of the day. I'm thinking of the London subway bombings (I think) when the market sold way off (S&P was off more than 20 points) but was up by the end of the day.

    Pakistan intellingence stated yesterday, due to reports from the field that they are very sure that Bin Laden is still alive.


    We might see a tape soon if he is still alive.

    A rat goes down easy with a .22 caliber. No need to make much noise.
