William: Thank you for sharing your views and for your good-natured humor. A company like CRA does indeed have something valuable to trade on -- the question is at what price? $256 -- the high for the year? $86 -- their current price? Perhaps $25? In my mind, the case for $25 is far stronger than the case for $256. That is my point. At $86 they are trading at 100 times sales -- far out of line with their prospects IMO. At $25, they trade at 33 times sales -- a very, very rich premium, but perhaps within reason if you want to speculate. As for gold, I think you are deeply mistaken by your comparison. It is always going to be about supply and demand William, whether we are talking gold, biotech or net stocks -- and right now there is a glut of stock coming into the market while gold is going through an extraordinary bottoming process. There is a fortune to be made in gold stocks now -- not in net stocks. Times change. Good luck.

<<<. I just don't share your distressful imaginings William : if there can be and are short squeezes in internet stocks, why couldn't there be one in a commodity ? William : is softie's decline of 40 % from the peak a distressful imagining ? qcom declining from 200 to 100 William : what is wrong with putting a few shekels down on an investment that is totally the opposite of the majority of whats in your portfolio ?
