Don't the media make you sick?>>

Tonight News at 10 went on about the losses
today due to Worldcom. They even showed them
ringing the bell at the NYSE but at no time did they
mention how the US closed as it wouldn't suit their
story. Anyone seeing the story and not knowing like
we do would be frightened off investing in the
markets. I don't mean like we do but Mr and Mrs
average buying an ISA or pension. If you are going
to tell a news story at least get it accurate. Oh no
that wouldn't be sensational would it? My only
market interest right now is that it hits bottom
before 1st July. and then goes up for the next 2.5
years.
