I agree. And I think this is great news. The more the bears the higher
the market will go. If everyone was bullish then thats the time I'll
be really worried! As long as Metz, Rogers, etc. are allowed to speak
on CNN and CNBC it is great news for logic and 'Rational Exuberance'.

Rogers is a joker! And I was convinced of this about a year ago when
on CNBC he strongly recommended investing in Iran! I was shocked to
see him saying such a statement and came to the conclusion that he is
either an idiot or a guy with a lot of ego who wants to be exotic!
Being originally from Iran I know exactly what and how the economy is
in that country (especially where there is absolutely no respect for
International laws not mentioning the domestic laws!). Mr. Rogers like
the Brady Bunch family (in the Brady Bucnh movie) seems to be living
in the 70's and does not seem to have a sense of reality in the 90's!
After he made that investment statement/adivse I sent an email to CNBC
explaining some of the economic facts in Iran and requested for Mr.
Rogers to elaborate on his investment advise. But I never got a
response back! I wounder exactly how much Mr. Rogers invested in Iran
(and how!) and how much money he has made since then (with Rial - The
Iranian currency - dropping by about 40% against the dollar since
then, and other economic facts such as a 50-60% unemployement, an
inflation of 40%+ being the best parts of the Iran's economy! I can
elaborate on the worst parts in a 2 volume book!).

Anyway, I really wish there was a way to find out exactly how much
(if any) Mr. Rogers and Mr. Metz have made for their investors for
the past 3 years (or 10 years for that matter). Mark Haines the
anchor and co-producer of the Squwak Box show on CNBC who invites Mr.
Rogers to his show every Friday says that he (Mr. Rogers) never tells
them what Rogers Holding Fund is and of its performance! I understand
that. Would you let anyone know of your investment performace if you
also had the investment mind of Mr. Rogers?!
