Just wanted to defend Jim Grant a little ... he does not always say "sell everything."

A NYT article last week (on "bears" who have missed the whole "move" lately) pointed out that his "Grant's Interest Rate Observer" newsletter carefully explained the compelling case for buying CMGI a while back when it was at a split adjusted price of $12 (currently around $270).

(That would certainly have helped un-do following some of his other ideas !)

Also, during an interview on CNBC quite a few months ago, after saying how idiotic he thought both the business and the stock price of Priceline were -- he said : if you feel compelled to participate in Internet plays on the travel business, buy Sabre (or whatever the stock vehicle for it is), AND sell short Priceline.

I know people like to "pick" on him, but I think his wrong market calls at least have a great deal of thought and analysis behind them. (I know that does not help one's wealth any ...)
