Which projects? We moved to St. Thomas project in New Orleans in 1954 (I was 2), lived on Religious Street. Not a good place for little kids now but of course things were different then. Were you one of the obnoxious older kids that made my life hell?

Between this board and "ALL clowns must die", I get a serious taste of bull vs bear. Do any others at 'the porch' read the latter? If so, do you pay any heed to the fact that the loyal posters over there are calling for more of a massacre? P.S. I keep reading that there is not enough fear in the market, and until people begin to fear, we will not reach a 'true' bottom. I'll tell ya what, I for one am scared as hell.

Voltaire, What makes you think I wasn't doing much the same thing (as well as investing)? Actually, in 1953 I was a new hire at Dow Chemical and my early investing was in Dow stock which I could get at a slight discount through the company. In a few years it made me enough so that we were able make a down payment and build our first house. Since that time my investing had been sporadic until about 1975 when I began to teach (at Marquette U.) and could invest in TIAA/CREF. It is a long, long story! ---Jack---
