QUOTES of the EVENING from recent Wednesday Nights
Friday May 19, 2006 rci from a previous W-N The completion of China's Three Gorges dam on the Yangtze River grows ever closer. Workers will pour the last concrete on the structure on Saturday. The dam will span 2,309 metres. The designers of the project expect it to generate huge amounts of hydroelectric power and reduce floods on the Yangtze. Environmentalist critics says the dam is already causing problems even before its completion. These include a deterioration of water quality, the diminishment of fish species and silt that causes erosion of the river's banks. The dam project has caused the resettlement of one million Chinese. The government said this week that it will support them financially for 20 years. see Wed894

Thursday 30 October 2008 9:28 AM The Copp Comment The extremely oversold condition of world markets that existed at the outset of this week is well on its way to a massive self correction. I have suggested more than once in recent days that a great downside crescendo would quickly be followed by a "jaw dropping" (in the words of Art Cashin) upside rally. Well the selling climax was not quite as dramatic or satisfying as we would have preferred, at least not in U.S. markets, but it certainly was in Asia and in Europe. It has also been historically severe in commodities, currencies and much of the Toronto stock exchange. This may also be seen as the pre Obama bounce by some of the more biased observors, a group to which I proudly belong. This rally now appears to be gaining legs and may well project to mid January (bumps along the way) when indexes should well have recovered 50% of their bear market losses. After this point or this date, remembering the rule that you may get one or the other right but never both, we will reconsider but first of all enjoy the ride. Bill Copp
