Well, I recognized at the time that telling you about my education could be considered a sign of weakness. But I also thought that you might be too mature to hit my weak spot. So I gave you the benefit of the doubt.<g>

I am sorry, but all I see you are saying is that the market is going to go up because it has gone up, and that people will buy today what went up yesterday, and buy tomorrow what went up today. Of course that is consistent with human nature, no one can deny it. The question is, how long can the prices continue to go up, and what happens when they don't? That was why I gave the example of the allowance that is a penny the first day, two pennies the second day, four pennies the third day, and so on. The original story was about grains of wheat on a chess board (64 squares). There is not enough grain on earth to put on the 64th square.
