T,
Have you ever 'run' one of those 'cheap' PCs? Would the 'cheap' PC fulfill your needs? The PC that I now run would be considered a 'cheap' PC by todays standard, but I still can do things with it that the 'cheapies' of today cannot. For instance, I run a 'dual' set of EIDE controllers, utilizing all available drive slots for 'external' drive swapping, which means that I NEED 4 (countem' FOUR) 5 1/4 inch 'exposed' drive slots! The most that I have seen on the 'cheapies' is 2, and that just won't do!
As for the slowdown, I have seen this kind of activity this time of year in the past, so it is really not very surprising this time! As a matter of fact, if you have been following the market for ANY extended period of time, you too have seen this, so it is no surprise! One thing that can be said, is that the market 'will go up' and the market 'will go down', but those that buy and hold seem to do OK. Seems to me Warren Buffet is 'doing OK', and I'm not sure that he ever sells.
As for Luczo and his comments, he chose to take the 'experts' advice, as nobody held a 'gun' to his head, and now he has an available 'scapegoat' to blame. He could have easily have said 'OOPS', but that would have cost him his job!
Incidently, there are 'experts' on both 'sides' of any question, and many times if you look at their 'record', a simple 'coin toss' is more accurate, unless the 'expert' is so 'deft' at ambiguity, that regardless of 'anything' that happens, they 'appear' to have called the 'shot' correctly! JMHO however!
Regards,
Ken |
