Nice. Both of you. Perhaps I join in from another angle? I happen to agree with the sniper-scope from afar stance although the sheeple on the topic-threads seem to think you must either be long or short. Like the no-decision decision, there is always the no-position position. Which is mine right now. My helicopters and battleships were already safely far away from the kill zone since last summer. A few hummers on the back roads of Canada are doing remarkably well. Maybe some dents, but they've picked up stuff along the way. Two SUVs on the tech test track suffered tire damage & rollover. Impressive how quickly one can go from zooming in the fast lane in leather seats with CD booming quad stereo at one minute to being pinned upside down within crumpled metal the next. Thankfully it is only money. Many of my friends have jobs as crash-test dummies (work in tech, paid in tech stock options). They are hurting these days. I don't know what my job is. Therefore, I doubt that the Internet has improved my productivity by much at all, despite brave claims to the contrary. Maurice: <<The fact that people put a high value on something with no value doesn't mean there was any value actually there. Investing in Santa Claus doesn't create an actual Santa Claus so when the tree has no presents under it and the value suddenly goes 'poof', nothing has been lost to the world.>> I thought this was brilliant, and I will quote it Maurice. Your neurons are clearly well entwined. I am less concerned about Santa Claus than about the Easter Bunny though. Many children may be sorely disappointed to find rabbit doo-doo instead of chocolates when it comes time to collect eggs for their nest. Jay: where did you get that impressive collection of quips and quotes? Many I have never seen before. I didn't see you mention Oliver's Law of Location: "Wherever you go, there you are". Doesn't help with investment decisions, but it does prevent one from feeling lost and in need of 3G locator technology. My 1.5G phone rings and I can talk to other people who can't reach me unless I want them to. Works for me. I will wait a few G's before I spend a few Gs on an upgrade and by then maybe it will cost nearly nothing like this one. I am a terrible customer: I want "money for nothing and my chics for free". It is now getting to that part of Sunday where I must be sleeping (the very first part of it), so I will sign off. Great contributions from both you Jay and Maurice. Thank you, and good sniping. John.
