OK, you're right. You're brilliant. You understand what's really going on. You have more experience and wisdom than anyone else on the investment scene today. You must be a major league money manager since 1856 who gets top returns for his clients in good markets and bad. Louis Ruykeyser must have you over for breakfast meetings every day of the week, when you are not consulting with Greenspan on interest rate moves. It must be incredibly great to be you. And I am only poor, pathetic me. Good thing people like you are there to direct the unwashed masses while ignorant rookies are rightfully ignored. Sniff, sniff. Have a nice day. In fantasy land, that is.

You see, my dear friend, if every man woman and child can invest their 50 bucks into yahoo stock, and then retire in a few months, what sort of economic system do we have? how do we induce people to work? When the B2B-wave is finished we will have more luxury and less work (more holidays!). It's a little bit complicated but do some research on zero-latency. And use your imagination. You try to explain the future by thinking old fashioned. Paul
