To be honest, I blame T.V. Consider the fact that the "average" investor watches CNBC daily. They eat this stuff up. Why? Mainly due to the fact that the AMerican public can't think for themselves. ANother reason for the great sucess of SI. A friend of mine told me he likes to watch CNBS market wrap to get an idea of what to buy in the near future. I told him to do a case study and chart the st9ocks he was considering buying after they were announced on CNBS. Most get whacked. MM's are people just like you and me. They are looking to make a living. They have the same tools as you and I. Why is it so difficul;t to grasp that with the emergence of the internet, the market has rallied. Our thoughts and emotions are on display daily. No longer can we hide. Nope, every tom dick and larry know what we feel by the emotions we throw out on the message boards. This is why I truly respect individuals like yourself. You open yourself up to destruction. And yet at the same time you put yourself out on a limb to help your fellow man. You should be applauded. Unfortunately many cannot handle the fact that this market is tanking. We are stcuk in a horrible rip[ curl. No matter how much we fight it, it only gets worse. We need to swim counter the current. )Only by slowing down the volatility will we be ble to proceed. I have so many feelings on this subject that I tend to ramble. Once again, if you allow me to PM you, it wouldbe greatly appreciated. I have many "theories" to share with you. If not, I can always use your email. Take care and best of luck, Jason Kenyon
