another great contrary indicator...

btw, the one fund group that has been the absolutely poorest performer in the '90's and has the smallest asset base to invest are of course the gold funds, which were all the rage exactly 20 years ago.

Income Taxes

A newly deceased man, David, stands at the pearly gates. St. Peter
tells
him that he cannot go to heaven right away because he cheated on his
income
taxes. The only way he might get into heaven would be to sleep with a
stupid, ugly woman for the next five years and enjoy it. David
decides that
this is a small price to pay for an eternity in heaven. So off he
goes with
an ugly stupid woman, while he pretends to be happy.

As he walks along, he sees his friend Steve up ahead - with an even
uglier
woman. When he asks what's going on, Steve replies, "I cheated on my
income
taxes and scammed the government out of a lot of money." They both
shake
their heads in understanding and figure that they might as well hang
out
together to help pass the time.

Now David, Steve, and their two ugly women are walking along, minding
their
own business when they see someone who looks like their old friend
Martin up
ahead. He is with an absolutely gorgeous woman who looks like a
supermodel/centerfold.

Stunned, David and Steve approach the man and discover that it is
their
friend Martin. They ask him how he got this unbelievable goddess,
while
they're stuck with these god-awful women. Martin replies, "I have no
idea,
but I'm definitely not complaining. This has been absolutely the
best time
of my life, and I have had five years of the best sex any man could
hope to
look forward to. There is only one thing that I can't seem to
understand.
Every time we finish having sex, she rolls over and
murmurs to herself, "Damn income taxes!"?
