My Portfolio of today: QCOM: 88 % NTAP: 5 % JDSU: 2 % SEBL: 5 % GSTRF: 0.25 % My biggest mistake in 2000: Running after shiny peebles in Feb/March without much of due diligence. And I cannot even claim that I was not warned about the dangers. Anyone remember those old Dracula movies. "Don´t go to the Count´s castle. It is dangerous." whispered the old man [picture one of the thread elders with long beard, smelling heavily of garlic] in the village pub in Transylvania as the young man inquired after the way. "Ahhh, never mind, silly old man. Just tell me the way". Sadly, the old man shook his head. Cassandra,Cassandra why do we never listen to you ? And why don´t we learn from our oldest tales and histories ? Speaking of fortune-tellers, I just came again across this prophesecy: 04/29/00 OMAHA, Neb. - This city's stock-picking Oracle says the market party's over. "We do not think the general ownership of equities is going to be very exciting over the next 10 to 15 years," Warren Buffett told investors at today's Berkshire Hathaway (BRK.A:NYSE - news) annual or put another way: "We had a good night jamming away, There was a fullmoon showing, And we started to play, But in the cold light of day next morning Party was over, The party was over." (From the Queen´s 1989 album "Miracle" the song "Party") Best Max PS: There is a shimmer of hope: " "Whether [the end of speculation] has fallout for the whole economy like it did in the '20s, or whether it's a limited event is difficult to know, but the chances are it will be more limited." (Warren Buffet, supra). Edit: PM´ed to Apollo after realising my mistake.
