Crazes and Manias: My father has quite a library of books on the manias of the past. I have ready many of them. Yes I am very familiar with the Tulip Craze. It is definitely time for me to have some in my library for the benefit of my children. My father lived through the Great Depression. As an adolescent and young teen he had to stand in the cheese line because his parents were too proud. I had begun to believe that the 70's were our generation's depression. I have a significant portion of my security investments in non-dollar denominated securities. Last week, my trading portfolio was up significantly due to energy trusts. I continue to look for signs of the RE bubble coming to a head. I recognised the last signs of the stock bubble, but was caught in the mania and thus failed to act appropriately. I still made enough in the nineties that the losses were relatively small compared to the investments. I generally am efficient at taking some winnings off the table as they occur. It limits both up and down side.
