Glenn <those who tirelessly warn> I am glad nobody around here does that <vbg> -- but this guy is incredible! He says don't worry about stock valuations, its only the techs that are trading at a cazillion times earnings anyway. Rubish. Do you call GE a tech stock? William likes to reminds us of 1995 -- at which point I remind him that the pe on intel back then was 11. And the savings rate argument -- rubish. My elderly relatives all are clamoring to buy stock. I give in and say ok buy 500 hundred of this and that -- and do you know what they do? They double or quadruple the quantities. They don't want a dime sitting around in that useless cash. These are the same people who thought stocks were too risky a few years ago when I could not get them to look at IBM before it went up 500% -- now they think there is 'no risk'. HA! Randy thinks so too -- its everywhere. This is an amazingly fearless and highly risky market -- the guy from ML notwithstanding. Never have so many stood to loose so much so quickly.
