Earlie, Your patient and good natured explanations are always of value to other readers, but I fear you waste them on the BooGeR. His illogic and his contentious, if mild, ad hominems are a proven blight on this thread. He does not want to learn anything from you, he simply needs attention. The only known cure is to ignore him. Thanks for all your great posts, /B.S.Grinder (I know it when I see it.)

Earlie, for some strange reason your eloquent post reminds me of the old saw, 'don't try to teach a pig to sing. It wastes your time, and annoys the pig'. I'm not sure why I thought of that. -g- Regards, Barb

>>But at least it may provide others with an understanding of how you approach a discussion<< e, been there, done that. ignore IS a beautiful thing! ;-) i don't define a strong economy as one where one little over leveraged hedge fund could bring the whole system toppling down w/o billion dollar bailouts! that's like saying a boxer is tough after a feather nearly knocked him out! that does sound like something booger would say. be nice to him, though. he transferred all his dough into the naz at 4500+ while belittling those who said the index was especially risky at that level given the state of earnings and the deflating of earnings growth. that shoe he is currently eating may be interfering somewhat w/ his thought processes ;-) the pig is screaming, though. apt analogy by momma bear. btw, what are we going to do when go2net goes under? i hate to be harsh here as my brother's old friend started the company. i don't feel bad as he is super rich without producing any return on investment - can't beat that w/ a noodle. what will happen to si? he is one of the very few that "monetized investor ignorance" to the nth degree...
