RE: hey Marc I think the following is a sign of topping On occasion I am presented with the monthly ramblings of the other Bob, Bob Prechter. For about the past three years, the other Bob has identified just about everything, and I mean everything as sign of the "Top." Before you jump to hastily into this camp, you should know that it appears from Mackay's description of Tulipomania that this so called "bubble" lasted minimum of 36 years, from the time England first imported Tulips to the height in tulip pricing.

Some believe its a mystery why they are skyrocketing in price. COME ON FOLKS GET SAVVY. QUIT BEING LIKE LITTLE CHILDREN AGOG AT WHY PRICES ARE INCREASING IN THE INTERNETS!! Its who is going to take advantage of this seachange in the way we do business on the internet in the not too distant future. So some people put down the internets because they can't believe the valuations....they are not focused on what is really happening. Chuckr
