["it also rhymes with SMART, which seems to be a concept outside your experience.eom."] ...well I guess that makes Art one of the guys now (vbg). Art - we don't allways agree with what you say; but appreciate you taking the heat and sticking around to exchange idea's. As they say in streetball....no blood, no foul... I'm a silver buyer here fwiw...and Buffet was as well, not so long ago at much higher prices for the same reasons we are... Art; a serious question: Given the information age we are in today, the near instantaneous disemination of news to all market participants, the evolution of the individual investor into a much more informed investor and then throw in the new paradigm of online trading & the CNBC-effect etc ... which makes for more volatile markets & shorter cycles imho; do you see, or anticipate professional fund managers pushing to change restrictions mandating that they & their funds remain "x"% invested & prohibiting them from shorting etc ? For example; wouldn't an energy speciality fund manager who had an accurate read on the oilpatch here of late; loved to have been able to have had the option of going to 50-60-70% cash, or even to be able to short "x" % within his fund ? Given the average return of most fund managers during the last 2 years - who in all fairness; were mandated to stay near fully invested at all times; do you see fund managers wanting the flexibility closer to what hedge fund managers have ? Do you anticipate any changes in the industry in this area ?
