MB - ...That was a long consultation. I usually get 25 cents for this kind of work. If you entertain any hopes of being nominated and confirmed for a cabinet level post, that 25 cents had better show up on your past tax returns. Actually, you also need to pay taxes on the imputed income from your free consultations. -g- Regards, Don

I think the whole NASDAQ is quite comparable to the Dow of 1929-1932. I cannot believe--or rather, I can believe, after I think about it--the rapid shifts in sentiment among some who were intensely skeptical when the NAZ was at 5000. The feeling is that anything that is down 50% must be a wonderful bargain because if it goes back up 25% then you are up 50%. There seems to be a whole new generation of speculators who can't wait to go broke the way the 25% who got in near the top have done. Which is not say that the NAZ could not get back up to 3750, and that's why I am not shorting QQQ. But you had better believe that if it does I will.

MB, Thanks for long response. Your e-check is in the e-mail. If you want a real check you'll have to pay $2.95 shipping and handling. -g- What is the role of big private investors / hedge funds? As far as I understand most MuFu can't short stocks. That means big private investors / hedge funds / individuals are shorting. Why did Roberson, Soros quit? My guess is that they didn't know how to trade this crazy market. Is it possible for market to be rational? How did you find VASO? Why don't some big company buy them out? What would be a fair price? Thanx, ild
