Bill, I am still laughing about the definitions of what a stock analyst's recommendation really means in today's Rap.

"I think this fall we've got a decent shot at a crash, even though most people would disagree with that." Do you promise this will happen? Are you writing naked calls to support your itchy twitchy feeling or are you going to change your laundry detergent instead? <G> I am actually worried there won't be a crash since the bears have an excellent track record at being wrong. <g> Do crashes occur just because stocks become overvalued? In your view, stocks have been overvalued for several years, and last time I checked there hasn't been a crash. Why should we embrace your tarrot card reading about the future when the dart throwing game works just fine? I will be borrowing your deposit money at local banks to fund my purchases of the big dip. Problem is that the Dow could run to 12,000+ and Naz to 3,000+ only to "crash" to today's index levels. Every stock is overvalued? You can't find one good stock to go long on? Are you a good contrarian or just an extremist masquerading as a contrarian? Here's a profitable tip: Extremists make more money selling doomsday books. If you are going to use the "C" word in your articles you could at least have the big kahunas to link this word to Y2K problems of foreign countries. Thanks for taking my criticism.
