>Frustrating to go the the health club and hear the >nincompoops on each side of me talk about how >wonderful their internet stocks are doing. Yeah, favorite lunch conversation: "Our company's stock just went from XX to XXX, now (???!!!) I will buy it for my 401(k)" Or the favorite Silicon Valley line: "F*** this company, I only got 500K in IPO, I'm leaving for FooBar startup" But I also know people who bought AMZN at $100 in this summer. Sure they are up 8% today, but... Jurgis - who's guilty in holding company stock in 401(k) and buying IGRYX as "defensive" part of 401(k). But then I don't sleep at night... :-)))))
