lee..what a down-to-earth post..well said. Betcha Kendall reads online and doesn't spend real dough except on weekends (just a guess) ..and as for those money-losing stocks that keep going up, I think it's just a popularity contest.

It reminds me of my grade 7 schoolmate Lizanne. She had a terrible case of acne, didn't believe in washing her hair more than once every 2 weeks (whether it needed it or not) and her thick glasses made her left eye look bigger than her nose. Needless to say, the "boys" paid little attention to her during the school-day hours.

Yet, after many weeks leading up to the summer of "00", she confided in me that the most "popular" boys of our class would take her behind the school to have a "feel" ..because all of her "attributes" were below the neck (and most of us hadn't blossomed yet..some of us still haven't!) ...man, was I envious of all that attention from Davey and Allen (my heartthrobs)

..who can say what makes a stock popular...
