US Stocks; NASDAQ and DOW JONES

Hey anybody can tell me why these stock markets are not performing well despite fact that economic recovery is already seen.

[lupuS]

After the tech/internet bubble, accounting irregularities, and 9/11, investors are more risk averse. Petroleum prices are still rising and may affect profitability. Many stocks are also still overvalued relative to their earnings, so there is little motivation to go back in the market at this time.

it saddened me that investors think the stock market as one way street. yung bang palaging buy lang ang nasa isip. kung down ang market, sinasabing maraming nalulugi. bakit?
nd po bang pwedeng magkaprofit sa bear market? may shorting naman d po ba?

I heard from some report that investors are conservative in buying stocks meaning they dont want to buy thats why stocks prices are lower now??????? Is it true???? KD, richy?????

have no fear, have faith.....

You are correct in your assessment in that investors are more conservative in their spending. Between the poor economy and Enron, investors are waiting for more definite signs of an upward trend. For every good piece of information, there is economic information that comes out to the contrary. Expect a lot of lateral movement for the next few months at least.

Also the tendency after a bubble is an extreme shift in the opposite direction; this is where we are now.

Finally, even if prices are lower, that does not mean they are low. When you go to a Gucci store and everything is 75% off, it might still be 200% more expensive than Bench. Lupus hit it right on the nose, P/E ratios are basically still too high.

Hope that helps.

May Angels smile upon you,
Joe

EKNO Special Alert!

eKnowledge Received a Non-Binding Letter of Intent to
a Merger With SynerG USA At $0.25 Per Share


CORONA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 8,
2002--eKnowledge Group, Inc. (OTCBB:EKNO) announced
that it has received a non-binding letter of intent to
a merger with International SynerG Communications USA
Corporation, a wholly owned subsidiary of SynerG
Communications, Ltd. (a Mauritius Corporation).

The following is an excerpt from the Letter:

"SynerG will pay a total consideration composed of a
stock exchange for EKNO based on a valuation of $0.25
per share, subject to the completion of due diligence.
This would equate to an aggregate total of
approximately $10,000,000 for EKNO. At the Closing,
SynerG USA intends to reverse merge into EKNO. Current
shareholders of EKNO will represent a 28.57% ownership
of the new 'SynerG USA Corp.'

After reviewing numerous opportunities, we believe
shareholder value will be greatly enhanced through
this transaction. EKNO has shown a clear vision and
solid business model in an industry poised for
tremendous growth. EKNO's business model combined with
SynerG's global multimedia broadband network service
and network based applications represent a strong
value proposition for shareholders of both companies."

The Letter of Intent specifies that due diligence will
be carried out prior to the signing of the final
agreement. In addition, the merger will require the
approvals of eKnowledge's Board of Directors and
shareholders.

About SynerG

SynerG is a leading global provider of integrated
broadband services. SynerG is in the process of
deploying a global broadband ATM multimedia virtual
network in conjunction with its equity partner, Lucent
Technologies. The network will utilize Lucent's
virtual fiber-optic switches that route traffic
without creating the system bottlenecks that are
presently created by mechanical switches. In addition,
each switch is "smart" and knows the unique identifier
of every other switch in the system. This enables the
SynerG "Pathfinder" system to dynamically route
communications over multiple virtual paths for fastest
delivery and will create the most balanced traffic
loading across the system. SynerG's ATM platform
allows the network to simultaneously transport voice,
data, and video all through the same connection
because it can handle multiple communication protocols
concurrently. SynerG will incorporate multiple "last
mile" technologies to facilitate immediate
connectivity to consumer markets bypassing local
ILEC's and CLEC's ensuring desktop-to-desktop network
management. SynerG is building the first seamless
network service known as "SynerG's Intelligent Global
Network Service" or SIGNS. SynerG's Partner in Hong
Kong has been granted permission by the government of
China to rollout a domestic version of the SIGNS
network across 18 provinces in Mainland China.
