Thanks for the post, it is greatly appreciated. I know my habit of using sarcasm and ridicule in responding to posts is anathema to some. No one has a corner on good ideas, and posts that may seem shallow, ill-conceived, overly optimistic, or reflective of an overblown ego to me may well be received by others with cheers and huzzahs. In any future posts I will sincerely attempt to tone it down and reduce what some may perceive as personal attacks. And I now know to spell Qualcomm with 2 m's....<g> BP

Here is a quote that I found interesting, from a well-known market player, courtesy of Joe Granville, The Granville Market Letter : "Immediately after arriving in New York, I began to sell everything I could, in anticipation of the break I now felt to be imminent. This was near the end of September. The condition of the market could be measured by its wild fluctuations, followed by assurances from every direction that all was well. But I had heard this lullaby before. I knew that the continuity of confidence was beginning to break." The quote is from Bernard Baruch, 1929. BP
