That was nearly 10 years ago. MSFT, CSCO, INTC were players back then too, and considerably cheaper. He could have stepped up 5 years ago when investing in these companies was a no-brainer, but he still missed the boat w- I don't have enough bandwidth hours to list all the "no brainer" companies that were trading then that no longer exist or that are still trading lower than they were then, and I have the equivalent of a T1 line.

I still admire WEB and have him to thank for me gettin into the stock market for the first time...and what a "lesson" it was...bought in brk.b at 2620. Fortunately, I got out and have fairly successfully traded back and forth with brk.b but most of my portfolio is in tech stocks now and I must say very handsomely. 100 shares of AOL bought in Aug of 98 is now 800 shares with a cost basis of 23 after splits adjustments. I am just suprised that WEB doesnt have someone he trusts to explain or know enough about the techs in order for him to feel comfortable to buy in to them. Guess he just doesnt have the stomach for it. I dont say that to be disrespectful to him...just an obsevation. regards, Dep
