>>it only appears that way when you protest too much that the outcome can only be the result of your superior intelligence, with no 'dumb luck' involved. Get off it, GST. I have never spoken to my intelligence or taken some special credit for profits. Find a post. This is your spin, and I find it bitter. Look. All this could disappear quite easily. I doubt it will happen because of all the fundamental causes, but favor could turn. That's why you'll never hear me say "I told you so", or find me writing scripts for the stock market. Being a healthy, educated, alert and stable American covers most of the luck right there. I was lucky enough once to have a one-on-one breakfast with Warren Buffett (Steady, HJ!). It was thirteen years ago. We were at the '86 Calgary Winter Olympics together. He told me never to compete with other investors' successes, and never personalize my own success. I'll never forget it. Let's just learn and profit from the world around us, and lose the chip.
