Tito, >>if there are frequent small quakes say in the Bay Area, the pressure is being relieved to avoid the bigger quake...<< Good analogy. My house in Sunnyvale, CA, is constructed better than most - so I don't buy high priced earthquake insurance that won't cover much anyway. In stocks I'm almost fully invested, i.e. no insurance. I hope I won't need the money for at least 5, possibly ten years. Historal data (SP500) shows that between 1926 and 1995 the return for all possible 10 year periods was between -.9 and 20.1%. I think that's pessimistic, because it includes the 1929 crash and we have learned to control a few things since then. Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts! GM
