Not familiar with BEARX<BR/><BR/>Anon,<BR/>I can't provide investment advice--only passing along info from folks much smarter than myself. <BR/><BR/>Was probably wise to dump BOA and I can only assume that OIL and Utilities will continue to fare well.. OUT AT THE PEAK ( http://outatthepeak.blogspot.com/) should be in a better position to offer advice in these matters. <BR/><BR/>MTNRUNNER,<BR/><BR/>It's a fact some OPEC countries have been overestimating reserves.<BR/><BR/>see this article, which states that Kuwait may possess only half the amount of oil reserves that it officially has been stating for years. I'm sure others are in the same boat.<BR/><BR/>http://www.energybulletin.net/12336.html <BR/><BR/>Re stock market: I don't think anyone can accurately time these things. Take the housing bubble for example; many folks have been predicting the top for 3+ years, and only now is the data finally starting to suggest we've reached the top.<BR/><BR/>Also, there is much controversy regarding our gvt propping up the stock market to prevent a crash..<BR/><BR/>Google: "Plunge protection team"<BR/>or "Hindenberg Omen" <BR/><BR/>and/or see these links:<BR/>http://www.safehaven.com/article-3880.htm<BR/><BR/>http://futures.fxstreet.com/Futures/content/100480/content.asp<BR/><BR/>Best of luck in whatever you do...Randyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09221346085089343469noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20377909.post-1142147534852275462006-03-11T23:12:00.000-08:002006-03-11T23:12:00.000-08:00More pesky questions:I was gifted with COP and TXU...More pesky questions:<BR/><BR/>I was gifted with COP and TXU shares, also Bank of America.
