Michael , sitting around fat, happy and doing nothing sometimes pays better than betting on the market <g> being lazy and cynical of mind is far better than buying compaq at 50 and thanking your broker for the recommendation , doncha think ? ike

Mike & all, I don't know if you've seen this, but this guy does a great job, IMO, of explaining how your friend Allan the Philosopher-King counterfeiter has allowed households to monetize their investment cap gains & real estate gains. ntrs.com

Dow 36,000: The Case for a New Stock Market Model by James Glassman washingtonpost.com He has a fair value for Fannie Mae at $ 315. I guess if we extend out the time horizon for expected future value out to infinity, anything is possible. His last great forecast, that I recall, was the recommendation to buy the oilfield services in October '97. He also had one before that on semiconductors in October '95. He also had articles on REITs last year and on internets in April this year, but I've pretty much ignored most of his forecasts since he primarily issues other people's recomendations (i.e., mf managers or newsletter publishers) rather than his own.
