Re: defined benefit plans aka pensions, this link is a real eye opener - a list of the largest holdings of some really large pension plans. The largest holding of State Farm's is Pfizer (PFE), not a bad company, but not such a great stock lately. On the other hand, First National Bank of North Dakota's largest holding is Medtronic(MDT), and Torray Fund holds Dreyers Ice Cream (DRYR), which have done surprisingly well lately, while JP Morgan holds Carnival(CCL), which hasn't. Oh, yeah, and Gilder, Gagnon and Howe holds Yahoo(YHOO), while Bowman Capital holds AOL. 10kwizard.com

revolution ... my eye! Infatuation, sign of the times -- what real power is implied by ownership of stock these days? A whole lot less than before this mania -- that's what. Opportunity to gamble and make money (apparently) from little effort? Yes ... transforming? revolutionary? Bllsht!! And no, I am not like everyone else out there. It's not elitist thinking. I just haven't been brainwashed (as a while bunch of folks have) into thinking that a whole nation can get something for nothing by just by printing money. Would it have been nice to be long a bunch of this trash and to have cashed it in, say, on Fri? Sure -- but I wouldn't fool myself into thinking that I'd produced some wonderful good by investing in companies x,y, and z. this market isn't about investing -- it is flipping paper to the next guy before something real happens or is understood.
