Funny side note: My grandfather's business on Wall Street was wiped out in 1929. A broker landed right on his pushcart. Interesting in that reports of that period attribute this sort of demise to ~12 people. (no, I do not currently have the reports) I bet it was not so funny for the broker's family. Come on, if your story is true someone's husband/father/brother/grandfather/son/nephew died that day. THAT IS NO LAUGHING MATTER. Have some decency.

I disagree. With that logic-MSFT/CSCO/INTC/etc,etc,etc,etc would have been too high last year 2,3,4,5,10 yrs ago! If it is truly a great company in a growth industry (do not include any .com) you can purchase at a high and still make out ok. Remember, it is time in the market, not timing the market. I do agree with you, though, that when a good stock gets beat up (CSCO last fall) people sell, as opposed to buy. Lastly, since you think we are going to have a crash, you must have your money under your pillow. How has your return been???
