Q: Re Dave's question on Questor the WH has been doing its best to downgrade environmental criteria so my take is that while individual states appear to have the ability to set and maintain environmental criteria they are fighting a downdraft and this is affecting market sentiment, perhaps as a minimum.

Q: As the SOXX, iShares PHLX Semiconductor ETF is approaching it's all time high, PHO is bouncing along close to it's 52 week low. I understand the lag in spending from the semi companies showing up in PHO earnings, though it seems to me investors are paying up for forward earnings in semi companies but not PHO? Are similar companies to PHO experiencing the same fate or is this company specific? Do you have examples of similar companies to share?

Q: Good morning.
It seems like the markets took a sudden wild turn on Thursday. Since then gold, utilities and reits are being booted out the door at a fairly high rate. Can you offer up a suggestion of what the markets might be thinking? Are they simply dumping equities or are they moving into some other sector?

Q: Park Lawn Corp. has been pretty weak lately. You would think that with the amount of space to burry people getting less and less, that that their services would get a premium. Through the media I’ve been hearing about eco friendly ways if disposing of deceased. Things like composting (essentially becoming flowers in your flower bed) to burying people by road side and planting a tree over them. How would such future changes affect The company?
