not as much as I though they would get hammered Compaq. Did you think they would get hit more with todays hearings?

Total Square · 05-26-2006, 12:15 AM

markets close there before noon eastern, so the bill was probably not voted on at that time

The sector is very strong thus far today.

A good site to track down symbols/charts etc for this industry is-

Thanks TA. Perhaps we are following this too closely and everything that happened yesterday was expected to happen

Total Square · 05-26-2006, 03:08 PM

sbt up close to 8% today

Russ I do not think a bill being approved in commitee is that big a deal-

in fact I do not consider what the House does to be that big a deal regardless-

if there is any hint of any of this passing the senate you will see some bloodshed in these stocks.

I think they are over valued to begin with-SBT worth billions of dollars only returned $40mill to investors last year. WOuld you pay 4-5billion for anything that only returned you $40mill? I woudn't.

But I still have yet to find a way to trade these issues directly-I asked numerous brokers and no one knows, one guy even told me many international exchanges have limitations on foreigners owning stock.
