Sulyman. I can't tell you how refreshing it is to hear from the young investor such as yourself (I'm 49) who posses such market knowledge that took me years of bad investments (recommendations from my broker) to learn. An investor today has all the information at his fingertips and it is only his lack of DD that prevent him from from making an informed investment, but hey that's what penny mining stocks are for. Todays investment arena consist of people such as yourself actively participating in their investments. It is the recognition of emerging companies and technologies that bring riches to the investor. It is the acknowledgement of calculated risk taking that set you apart from the herd. "Dare to succeed" And then you have people like the "C" guy. People that hold guns but never pull the trigger. People that profess market knowledge through the proliferation of one liners..."Sell while you still can", "This stock is a promotional scam by insiders", "Stock overvalued. Will buy when it's under $1" I'm sure you have heard them all. Anyway, I just want to wish you all the success in the world and I hope you can retire at age 30. Cheers

"My mistake, I thought you said you were 56. Oh well, 51 56 same thing huh? You are still a failure ! The clearest proof of that is that you didn't choose to discuss the issues. Rather you just went for the cheap shot which in your mind makes you a Real Winner. Enjoy yourself in your deluded world my old friend. I guess you are already senile. DJI 5000, ha, what a laugh!" Very mature, Sulayman. I guess this is your idea of "discussing the issues". I raised a number of important issues. Since you obviously have trouble with reading comprehension, I'll reiterate (is that word too big for you?) them here: 1. Grossly overvalued tech market. 2. DJI looking weak. 3. Extremely competitive business (ISP's) 4. Y2K uncertainty ...and just for good measure... 5. Unrealistic expectations among those who've never seen a real bear market As for a 5000 DJI, if you think that's impossible, have a look at what happened the last time the world had a major financial crisis (mid 1970's). You'll see a collapse of the Dow by 50%, which would take us to about...hey, 5000! What a coincidence. Now if the world got a really bad case of the jitters, maybe we'd get a 1929 style panic. That would take us to DJI 1000! Holy cow! Impossible you say? Nothing's impossible. But then, you weren't even born the last time this happened so we really can't expect you to remember. Try expanding you horizons beyond "important" issues such as whether Cybersurf said "September" or "Fall" and look at the bigger picture. Cheers and good luck to you.
