This post is not directed at you, but rather the topic you raised. I divided the people's learning ability into three categories: 1. Those that learn the easy way - from others by reading and careful observation. 2. Those that learn the hard way - from personal (often quite bitter) experience. 3. Those that never learn - not so much from stupidity (although that also happens), but from some sort of psychological block that induces denial. It's also my observation that while a particular individual may best "fit" into one of these categories, all of us exhibit to some degree all three. JMO lurqer

You covered a lot of ground in that post, Rick. I applaud your new found tolerance for other's opinions, and I hope you'll grant the same license to us old bulls as you are now doing for the bears <gg>. >> jvegasman, LG, Jacob Snyder, etc, etc, etc. And when they were proved right? Only 2 of the 3 were proved right, and that was for different reasons. LG made a technically based prediction for the Q to droop short term, and was right on. Jacob Snyder worried his way through the process, but finally took what he described as a long term position in Qualcomm in the low 60s. If he's continuing to hold, he's been proven right. Jmanvegas was very bearish on qcom and outlined his top 4 picks as well as 4 he was planning to buy in one of his final posts on this thread: Message 13902790 Here's how his basket has fared versus the Q: 6/16/00 2/2/01 Change SDLI 299.88 185.59 -38.1% PMCS 184.06 68.38 -62.9% GLW 81.81 51.08 -37.6% JNPR 113.00 100.69 -10.9% RBAK 119.00 40.25 -66.2% NUFO 95.88 50.00 -47.8% CORV 74.00* 19.81 -73.2% RFMD 50.19 19.31 -61.5% QCOM 65.75 86.81 +32.0% * Opening price on 7/28, first day of trading How do you figure he was right? >> Was a great way to pass the time during some medical shut downs too. But now? It is becoming more of a grade B rerun, rerun, rerun...the same mistakes and statements coming from the same types of people. A bit of a bore frankly. It's just like surfing, Rick; no two waves are ever the same. Personally, I find the parade of opinions to be educational and fascinating. uf
