Robt --

You're not alone in being discouraged. Even this Pollyanna has her moments of doubt.

I still think current weakness is market-driven, not specific to NN.

This morning I ran into a friend who's a consultant in the industry and his concern is with valuations. Since his experience is a lot longer than mine, he remembers when 15 was an exorbitant price to earnings. His idea of a speculative investment is Cisco or Lucent, so you see where he's coming from.

Comparatively speaking, NN's a bargain. But what's ahead for the entire market?

I'm still fully invested, and have never shorted anything in my life, so I'm obviously still bullish --- but with enough sense to look at the bigger picture (and to know nothing lasts forever).

Wondering what others think ---
