Hi Patroller, Funny you should bring this up. One of my good friends and a fellow JBL holder (with a very handsome annualized gain) and I were comparing notes.

He can read the same issue of Fortune that I do and come away certain that we're nearing an apocalyptic market end while I get all sorts of optimistic "support" from the same issue! This is true of almost any news item or even CNBC. He always takes a negative view of the same info that I consider positive! He was talking about Deflation the other day and sees no good coming from it. Well, there's deflation and deflation, I guess.

Sitting here watching the seasons change and my cats come out of their winter's hibernation and try to reclaim their "territory" in our yard tells me things. I'm not sure my friend gets the same messages. We even attended the same economic conference at U.Wisconsin - Madison and came away with differing ideas.

Recently I think he found his calling! He's now SHORTing stocks! I think he'll be much happier now! His first pick, AMZN gave him a very healthy and profitable ride down. He's now looking at doing it again when it climbs back up.

His wife and mine compare notes. They're almost as opposite as Carl and I. Yin and Yang! Live is good!

Best regards, Tom
