Thanks Greg, I knew that you would stick to your guns with logic to back it up. It is a fascinating education reading the various points of view as a stock swirls and dips in the eddys of the fluid marketplace. It is wondrous, really, to have the privilege to observe close up and personal, the immediate and visceral reactions of experienced investors like yourself, Jim, and Tom...not to slight the many, many others here on SI that I respect for their investment insights. In the last two months, I have been given a "freeing" sense of peace about the whole investment process, learning that everyone's point of view has value. And, even Tom Landry and Joe Gibbs did not win every game. But, they both were avid students with reasons for every call they made. I can value your call and JW's equally, since I am not going to run out and act on either without crouching in the weeds for awhile. I remember what you told me on the Dell thread about 3 months ago about flitting from flower to flower, or words to that effect. I am not doing much flitting now, just churning out tax returns for the next month. I close with a thanx and an old Corps maxim addressing those with whom we disagree..."While I may disagree with what you say, I will defend to the death your right to say it!" The former does not apply in this particular instance, and the latter is a bit melodramatic, but perhaps my sentiment is revealed in the phrase. Thank you Greg. Just keep the good calls coming. All the best, Joe Kirkpatrick
