Today CPI # does suppress the fear for awhile. People don't get used to low inflation environment for such a long time. The majority of human mentality is always too much worry. I also think one set of data is inconclusive and we need to see more economic data. I also express that the advancement of technology maintain similar profit margin by reducing costs (e.g. middleman and replacement of labor by cheaper capital goods). I total agree with you, over the long time providing E*Trade executes its plan well, we should be fine. In the mean time, enjoy the free roller coaster if your heart can prevail. I reiterate that the Lehman price target is very much achievable.
