Mohan...I think I smell the essence. I've only been with Q for 5 months – perhaps long enough to stay for the gain (let's say the infamous 80%) and, maybe, just smart enough to exit at the right time. I realize its difficult for long term bear people like yourself to prosper in these difficult times – you have my sympathy!

This "greater fool" -ishness is especially virulent today. Those who catch that particular left brain debilitating disease (as Volt would consider it) are almost visibly sickened by valuations which they just can't understand. Faber(CNBC) was deep into it this morning ("it takes 175 years to get your investment back at 175X 2001 earnings", as if we invest for dividends instead of in IJ's brainchild), and looked really ill this evening discussing it with Insana. Hang in there, Mohan.. there's hope for a cure.

Mohan, Serious question, if you are so prescient in predicting prices and valuations, then why don't you just buy it now and sell it to the "next fool" when you deem it to be at the end of its run? Or better yet, why don't you short it now and keep shorting more if it happens to go up? MileHigh PS- I am not being a smart a!@, just wondering if you put your money where your mouth is. After all, like Wayne Gretzky said, "You miss all the shots you never take"
