Michael,

I encourage you to think twice before making any bold moves. This is the exact thing the terrorists would want. I have always been a critic of the American way of life; chasing after more dollars without any true understanding of what life truly means. We have people working 12 hour days and spending little time with their children. The family unit is stressed; the environment is stressed, yet life goes on without a second thought because people seem to think they need a bigger house, SUV etc. They are deluding themselves in thinking that these external items will bring about any happiness whatsoever. I like investing in technology because I believe in innovation and the possibilites it creates for a better future. Money is simply a very nice side benefit of this recreation.

I believe the last week has brought out the best in Americans and for the first time, I am proud to call myself an American. I just hope that we don't forget and revert to the "money as God" philosophy that has existed in this country up until these tragic events. Don't get me wrong, we should get on with our daily lives, but this does not necessarily getting back to business as usual as existed only nine days ago.

Regards,

Brian
