Limtex -- excellent post. It is amazing how peoples' state of mind changes to fit the price level of a stock (or commodity or interest rate level).

In the spring of 1984, one could have bought 30 year U.S. Treasury bonds at a yield of 14%.

Was inflation near 14% then ?

No.

Was the economy looking like 14% was necessary then ?

No.

Everyone just "whipped themselves into a frenzy" then.

("A whole move based on nothing.")

Qualcomm is the same company as 5 or 10 days ago.

It just has a dramatically different stock price now.

Jon.

P.S. My wife insisted that I mention that she thought your post was excellent, too.
