Very pragmatic. One question however. What would be the market value of the S&P if they were priced to perfection (optimistic) according to what they will earn in 5 years......we'd have a S&P NORTH OF 2,500!!! That reads like Wall Streetease for "THE STOCK IS OVERBOUGHT AND ITS TIME TO TRIM OR SELL DEPENDING ON HOW AGGRESSIVE YOU WANT TO BE" Mad2

<<He said most people should avoid investing in Internet stocks; that those who do invest should only put 5% to 10% of their portfolio in those stocks; and that even that money should be spread among 10 to 20 best-positioned companies. "Investors are far too aggressive," Blodget said>> ...And so he washes his bloodstained hands and relinquishes himself from any responsibility for creating said overvaluation and aggressiveness. Henry Blodget is IMO, nothing more than a glorified momentum trader. There is a saying in some i-banks, "the analyst is a banker's bitch," and while I think (know) that many times analysts are pressured into recommendations by bankers who don't want to see their IPO gravy train come to a halt, those who go along with such blatant misrepresentation are not blameless, neither are investors who have brought it on themselves. -enam
