Thanks for the reference - next time I'm in the mood to suffer, I'll revisit grantspub.com for another dose of his self-important, know-it-all, permabear prose.

Mucho Maas,

Re: "Use of four- or five-syllable words with Greek roots is not a sign of advanced civilization or "cleverness".

Well, that might often be a sign of both, but of course I'd say in partial agreement, not necessarily. It's the substance that makes words rise above the rest. Substance can be found from within a small vocabulary. A large one helps, no doubt. Gilder works for me. To each his own. There's no arguing taste. He's(or his staff) been clever enough with his word usage and his points, to make me laugh out loud many times. He's been advanced enough to teach me much. I get a kick out of the GTR, and only my pocketbook wishes I'd put the picked stocks where my money is a good bit more than I have.
