And with a yawn, I too can say that I still have all the shares that I've bought. And every time a thread is reduced to extended bickering over relatively trivial issues, the stock is at or near bottom. The predictability of this phenomenon reminds me of a Twilight Zone episode, "The Monsters Are Due on Maple Street." In it, two aliens manipulate a community's electrical power and neighbors turn against each other - kinda like the way something's screwing with a stock price. At the end of the show, the aliens comment about how chaos ensues every time they do this experiment. Serling's epilogue followed:

"The tools of conquest do not necessarily come with bombs and explosions and fallout. There are weapons that are simply thoughts, attitudes, prejudices - to be found only in the minds of men. For the record, prejudices can kill and suspicion can destroy, and a thoughtless, frightened search for a scapegoat has a fallout all its own - for the children, and the children yet unborn. And the pity of it is that these things cannot be confined to the Twilight Zone."

While all the recent JDX banter has nothing to do with scapegoats, the exposed nerves are similar. Here's to a little perspective.
