Joe: You raise excellent points. To summarize the case for caution
from the passenger pod on the Starship:

1) Brinker does not see DJIA 9000 in the cards for 1997.

2) Brinker remains bullish, but is advising dollar cost averaging
into this heady market.

3) Brinker is lately perturbed by manic, omnipresent reportage
celebrating the DJIA 8000 milestone.

4) Brinker is further distressed by the entry of "clueless, uninformed"
novices into this frothy market. Brinker expressed similar angst
just prior to the precipitous, albeit fleeting, market decline of
mid 1996.
-------------------------

More evidence of market froth? Bruce Williams, the immensely
popular talk show host and "everybody's uncle," has been ad-
vocating mutual fund purchases for some time. Indeed, Bruce
lambastes those non-senior callers who meekly admit to carrying
comfortable cash bank balances. Williams opines that credit cards
are the vehicle of choice for emergency cash advances. Lately,
there has been a surfeit of callers who, while confessing to cash
accounts, vow to mend their ways by converting cash to
unspecified mutual funds, thereby receiving Bruce's imprimatur.
