This 'debate' has been amusing me these past days. I don't reckon it would have taken place in the period of the recent Naz low. If Brinker's general market call is correct, then as he predicts we are likely to see the markets move lower later this year. I don't reckon such discussion will occur then either. I think the 'debate' will continue to wax and wane according to the levels of the index. The discussion brings to mind when I ran a gyppo logging and sawmill outfit near Golden, BC years ago. We'd sit of a Friday evening in the bar at the Big Bend Hotel tipping beer and waggling our chins. Our wives and girlfriends were all there too, prettied up fresh for the trip to town. But the men were still dressed from their work--wool shirts, suspenders, pegged pants, and caulk boots. We smelled of cedar wood and gear oil mixed together. Lord, what combination that was! We always logged more wood in that bar than we ever did during the week. The trees were bigger too. Toward the end of the evening the conversation always seemed to revert to the same debate about which brand of chain saw was really the best. I noticed over the years that nobody ever got their mind changed; no one ever switched. As Hank Stamper said, "Never give a inch." (Ken Keesey, Sometimes A Great Notion) But then, we were drunk at the time and probably should be excused. The women prevailed in the end when one would cap the evening with, "Well ladies, I think it's time we better take these boys home and put em' to bed." Ciao, David Todtman
