3. Set an example to the rest of the world A guy down the hall purchased some XLA today and immediately received a call from a TV personality in Australia for an interview and morning show appearance. Another call came in from Russia asking him to appear on the popular Vodka-n-Chat investment forum. I myself am looking at any of several investments to do my part in showing the world the way! Stand up and be counted, fellow Americans, and do your part to lead (and perhaps get elected President, too!) <g>

>>The worrywarts predicting doom and gloom and the end of the most prolific bull market in the history of the world are the same people who told you Amazon.com was a "great buy" at $225 a share.<< the all time high on amzn is about $115. the dude could have at least figured out amzn had split their stock. what a DUF >>Nothing fundamentally has changed at Cisco or Sun Microsystems. Nothing, that is, but their current trading prices. << that statement was true over the last 4 years as pes quadrupled. nobody complained about that. btw, rca and radio didn't go anywhere after the 1929 crash that saw rca lose 90% of its value. "antilogic." i'll assume the dude isn't as dumb as he sounds. manias and group psychology sure seem to have the ability to get folks to check their hat for crayons. >>Even after the bloodbath of the past few weeks, the Nasdaq composite is still up 32 percent in the past 12 months. << very true. that is why i'm not too excited about the markets heading toward rationality... just yet. >>Show some backbone << nothing like appealing to the bulls' intellectual side ;-)

Searey, What a maroon that guy is. He thinks that investing is like playing football or something. You have a gut check and buy tech stocks no matter what their valuation. Sadly, such advice has worked in the recent past. Of course, idiotic advice has to work for some time to ruin the greatest number of dummies in the ever evolving shift of wealth from the slow joes to the smart folks.
