Paul, DUMbria picks only the dates that provide the "right comparison" to suit his needs. The period beginning at the present, and going back one year into the past is a fairly common unit of measurement. It is used for such events as birthdays, anniversaries, and to compute salaries. The Government uses that period of time to enable a sophisticated mechanism of tax theft from the citizenry. The time scale was not as arbitrary as you suggest. You seemed to have a little difficulty spelling my name. SI provides a nice spell check feature. Look for words highlighted in red. Scumbria

Paul, I don't realize that Scumbria could be found in the dictionary, what is the meaning of the word :-) I'm afraid to get rich, because the journey to get rich would be over. I'm really glad that I invested that chunk of cash in MOT in 1992 , instead of INTC. Had I invested it in INTC, I would have been assimilated into that other (dull) SI board, and would be having no fun at all on SI ;^(( Scumbria

No - you know AMD is still BELOW its 1983-1984 highs - and you discount Intel's 5000% - 6000% INCREASE ! That was then but I am talking about now. Do you bring this up over and over ad nauseum, because you want someone to say that you were very smart to invest in Intc back in 1983...okay here goes: Paul you were very smart to have bought Intel back in 1983. Whatever makes you "feel rich ", Tejek. And believe me, "feeling rich" is a LONG way from being there ! Just ask SCUMbria ! Why the need to get personal when the facts won't due? My portfolio does not make me feel rich, it is making me rich. My worst performer is AMD and it doubled over the last year. So what? It adds very little to the quality of this forum. ted
