Robert, anti-net investors have always assumed that tech investors are extremely uninformed. The literature has been rife with it for years. Guys like Abelson, with a national soapbox, who have been wrong for many years running, always smugly assume they are knowledgable, and no one else is. Who's being glib? Do almost all Mutaul Funds, and I mean 99%, fail to beat even the S&P 500 over time because they are too risk adverse? And charging heafty fees, for the performance. Is that handling risk sensibly? I'm not a pro, but I was a sucessful investor long before the internet, and I'll compare my 5 year return against any professional. The risk is not being in tech stocks. Regards, Tom
