I prefer to call the "fear mongers" realists.

RE: "I 2, on the contrary, whenever the fear-mongers are out in force, the dip is usually buyable." We agree 100% on that point. Re: "allow me to point out though that what you so condescendingly call "fear-mongers" are simply people who are well aware that the Nasdaq is the most highly valued stock market of all time, and has now essentially gone parabolic." That's not at all my definition of "fear-mongers." When I refer to "fear-mongers," I'm referring to the people who have been trumpeting the message of fear after market drops of 10% to 20% or more. And not just now, at record valuations, but as far back as Dow 5400 and before. You know, those people who hit the press with messages of doom and gloom regardless of the level of the market. RE: Your thoughts on the money supply, Greenspan, relieving financial excesses, the 1929 crash, and the South Sea Bubble. I am aware of those issues and generally agree with your viewpoints. My awareness of those issues will make me have to think that much harder before buying on the dip. Which all leads back to my point: It is very difficult to buy on the dip. It often involves much thought and internal struggle to overcome the fear that is part of human nature. Best wishes, I2
