Cha2, I agree with your view of the financial "press". Their job now is to "produce an audience", rather than report the news. One of the talking heads on CNBC said the following last week: "Our job is to produce an audience, not to produce a show." The National Enquirer has set the standard.

It is not that I am surprised, but I find that having to "work around" press reporting a pain. Cha2>> <<If I didn't have access to SI I would hear nothing but the FUD and believe it also. Lucius M.

And on the topic of opportunity, Richard Williams just realized his vision of a daughter victorious at Centre <sp> Court, Wimbeldon. Submitted for your consideration. Mike

Cha2 Read your post with interest. Doesn't this sort of conduct go back just about as far as one can either research or remember. There are examples after examples where the "professionals" endorsed a trend and then only after the market blows up do they condemn the excesses. Or remember the endorsement the the big Hedge fund got from the professional establishment mainly because it was run by a bunch of experts who managed to almost crater the financial system. It is a pain to work around press reporting but I'm afraid it's a fact of our lives. Tom
