(Nice find, century man.)

On another subject:
I just updated my portfolio numbers to see what the year has finally wrought. No use in giving the gory details. Most all of us share the same saddening losses for the year, if we are LTBH and NASDAQ heavy.

The good news is that I am making money in my new business, and enjoying the hell out of it. So my plight is not worthy of your sympathy or my own tears.

The real question for me is "will the gorilla game, as I play it, be a winning game in the long run?"

I honestly don't know what the answer is, nor do I have an alternative to the game. Market timing is not one of my instincts. I have proven that in years past. Options are too much like the craps table for me.

I guess another question for me to ask myself is "should I be seriously considering changes in my investment strategy based on what happened (to my portfolio) in 2000?"

I shall ponder, and prepare to recompute my "substantially equal distributions" for 2001, set up my new QuickBooks payroll system, and thank God for the truly wonderful gifts given to me, my family, and y'all.

Happy new year, friends.
