Domestic news is worse this week- massive school consolidations and job totals that cannot match population growth.
This despite the look ahead to new housing? Very bad sign indeed.
To cover this failure Bush has several foreign affairs appearances to make hinged around the Papal memorial.
OPEC Chief May Start Quota Hike Talks Sun (ny times)
Well what will Sec. of State, Exxon Boardmember from 2000, and former Chevron chair Condolezza Rice have to say about that? Not much because Bush just met with Ukraine's leader and is going to make his Europe visit for the Pope into a putsch for Russian Oil holdings...
ChevronTexaco Agrees to Acquire Unocal for $16.4 Billion. Hmmm. Unocal's South Central Asia chief Karzai and his regional marketing VP who each have Pres/VP posts in Afghanistan are profiting well...
"Lehman Brothers was the financial adviser to ChevronTexaco, while Morgan Stanley & Co. Inc. acted as financial advisor to Unocal."
Morgan Stanley just had some major moves in its front office? On the supply/demand curve how do the buyer and seller BOTH lose money? Insider trading is ripping off a lot of fund holders it would appear:
"ChevronTexaco shares fell nearly 2 percent, or $1.88, to $57.43 a share while Unocal shares dropped $4.57 to $59.78 a share."
The usual insider putsch for the Bush cabal.
Looks like Mr.Moore was right after all...
