An interesting piece of information from the oil markets. Iraq is trying to extract concessions from the US and threatens to shut down production as of Oct 1 (just in time for the US elections). The source of this info is Phil Verlaeger (an oil analyst). He is very good but excessively concerned with Iraqi machinations. He is the source of news (reported by Friedman of the New York Times in his op-ed columns) about massive Iraqi trading in the oil futures markets. I personally discount this info: the volume and transparency of the oil markets would not support this type of huge scale operations by Saddam's government. There may be some trading by Iraqi officials on the side. Vince

Hey....I am sad...we will not come home until Christmas Day. Will you back after that? I would love to spend some time with you! How is Houston? I know you liked it there before but had grown to love the west. Are you looking anywhere special for a job?...like Memphis? Have you heard from any one who worked in the World Trade Center? Of course, I thought immediately of visiting your workplace there. It was unbelievably horrible! Talk to you soon....I am so glad we are e-mailing! Love ya,

Q: Mark Elliott tells me that you drafted some trader guidelines (physical and financial) for the London traders. I am trying to develop similar guidelines for the Southern Cone regions (first Argentina) and thought your expertise would be very helpful. Could you send me a set? I'm leaving for Sao Paulo on Saturday but I will be in the office tomorrow. Thank you for your help. Regards. Sara

IN: Dear CEO Kenneth Lay: The conversion rate of .15 is not acceptable to shareholders. It should be at least .2 or above. We need to get bidders and more banks to back up Enron while talking to Dynergy. .15 ratio was proposed by some analysts who short the ENE stocks when the price was at above $9. The number .15 was published in media again last week or so. ENE should not take this outrage number. These hedge fund and short sellers will be happy if the ratio is .15. I think .2 ratio is our bottom line. May god gives you wisdom. Peter
