Hello Gang. I wanted to thank everyone for all the kind words of support that I've received over the past couple of weeks...the PMs and messages have been amazing. This Group has provided me a sense of family and friendship that my offline world just isn't able to match at times, and unfortunately I'm struggling to find the right words to convey my appreciation. I thank you all from the bottom of my heart.

The good news is that things have settled down and are returning to normal. I expect to be back online and in full swing in the very near term. I just wanted to publicly state my gratitude for the prayers and words of support that my family have received. They've made a difference.

Stay long, and ignore the Fed...they won't do a thing. The Market is very healthy and good things will come to the patient.

Thanks again.
Teflon

Unk FranQ. "Q: When's a good time to buy a Gorilla?
A: Anytime's a good time to buy a Gorilla!!!"

This is what I tell my wife who keeps trying to time her Q purchases. Its an accumulation game--and Jim Willie and I had a few rounds on this issue because TA becomes much less important if there are 6 or 10 years on 35% to 50% growth in front of a company.

Still, Jill is right--just making lots of money on one stock is a little boreing. We have this urge to find new and different stocks. The hunt is as important as bagging the game. It is the hunt that sharpens our wits and gives us the excitement.

Frank,

Q: When's a good time to buy a Gorilla?
A: Anytime's a good time to buy a Gorilla!!!


This is where I don't think gorilla gaming has been tested long enough. Investors in PeopleSoft and SAP could present some pretty cogent arguments that it's not always a good time to buy a gorilla.
