OT OT Rarebird, Re: >>Yes, the S@P has progressively moved higher over history. But it is up over 300% percent since the 1994 low, which is unprecedented. It is ripe for a very severe drop.<< Here's how I plan to play this monster correction: As soon as the weather cools down a little I'm gonna dig up that fiberglass pool in the backyard that MSFT bought. I figure I'll auction it off on eBay sometime next spring (I will have to flip that UPS IPO whenever it comes out to pay the shipping costs). If I save the pool water in jelly jars for Y2K then convert the gaping hole in my yard into a huge sand trap, I can freely practice risky sand saves all winter and then hit the Hooters tour right after the pool sale goes through. I hear the regular players get a hot wing subsidy; this may or may not be true as I have not hooted in quite some time. Hopefully I will have a good year or two on the links - and maybe I will invest my tournament winnings in conservative, cyclical, and possibly concrete and cement stocks if things start looking better around November 2003. Until then I think I'll sit by the pool, drink whiskey sours and play old Lightnin' Hopkins tunes on my pawn shop guitar until my fingers bleed. As Hegel said to Kant, I'll keep you posted.

Are you prepared to hold through thick and thin knowing that it is quite possible that this Market can decline at least 25-30%, if not more? Yep! ..... and this from a dumb, inexperienced investor, unlike yourself. <gg> Call me in a couple of years okay? :) D.
