<<Come on in the water's fine...>> Perhaps. But that would also make a great opening line to Jaws 2002, would it not? <<I've almost doubled my money since the 9/11 bottom>> Which is a good thing, considering that almost everything in the bubble-sphere has almost doubled since this well chosen starting point, and it would be sad to think you couldn't handily beat a simian and a handful of darts. Me, when I look back I see the product of four unexpected hubba-bubba bubble doublings, affected slightly by a thirding-then-doubling as a consequence of taxes combined with some splurging, and then a mere seventhing of an eighting (instead of two consecutive halvings). Which less carefully chosen time period spans the last half a decade or so. And when I look in leaves in the bottom of my cup (which are all that remain of my happy-tea), I see a wide array of alternative futures. One of which includes a halving of that doubling you cite, and then another doubling from there... and so on and so forth into an indefinite future. So call me greedy, but I think I will cling to what luck has thrown my way and stay well out of the market for a while. At least for the rest of this year. John
