I am actually pleased with CCUR at $18 and change. Dell joined some other big names tanking the market. With the Western Trade show and those 25 bids on the table, CCUR has potential to catch the eyes of money managers who may have lightened up elsewhere. In regards to politics. I have been more interested in human behavior in this historical event. The 24 hour news programs plus the internet sites has gone beyond news on demand to constant distraction. It no longer is the day after water cooler chat but chat all the time, killing productivity. And the Media has really slacked off. It's more important to get new stuff on the air/net than working the rumor to fact. The same thing started in the stock market last year and continued this year. Before, Stock brokers did the work and reported to their customers. Discount brokers and the Fool Brothers have pushed individuals (like us) investing on our own while we worked day jobs. First many gave up their jobs and began day trading until stories of mass losses and killings ended that dream. Now instant access on the Net and Gov rules allowing equal access is impacting individuals trying to do both. No longer can it be a hobby for nights and weekends. And everybody is doing it. It will be interesting on how this all plays out. Will we hear stories about how the internet is being turned off.
