Carl: Not to re-open the debate - but reading your response to Sofa Kingdom it occurs to me that the essence of the disagreement is that you are focussing on an aggregate statistics in the form of an index and I am focussing on a single stock, namely, NETP. If I had linked my investment to the index then I might be concerned. Even then I would point out that NETP has never lived through the life cycle of the bubble - it came into it in its late stages. Even at its peak, NETP was only one eigth to one half the valuations of some of its peers in eCRM and CRM.

We can agree to disagree. I'm not sure how you can separate your 'post bubble bursting come-back' mumbo jumbo from my 'skirt length eerily tracks with the stock market' mumbo jumbo. More power to ya if you can. I try to pick stocks to buy based on what they do and how well I see this fitting into the current market. If I can find them before the thundering herd does then their foolish action helps me. Otherwise, I do well long term (if my predictions are correct, of course). I've hit two big winners in technology stocks and only a handful of true losers. One netted me just over 2,400% on my investment (without jumping in and out). Had I made a large seed investment I'd be retired. Because it was a high risk venture I made a small initial investment. All considered I'm way up for my efforts. I haven't gone broke trying to repeat this stroke of luck. I hope your method nets you similar gains and no one bursts your bubble (as it were). By the way, I'm developing software for creating hyperbole as it pertains to the internet. You see I believe the bubble hasn't truly burst, but merely lost some of its original hot air. I call my invention the mumbo jumbolizer. It can get the bubble right back up to size. Know where I can get some venture capital? -Sofa Kingdom
