Hi KastelCo, These postings must be fun for all, and I have apologized repeatedly to MeDroogies. <<'As for the person who posted sardonically regarding my IQ and Jay's.' Not me. If I doubted you're IQ I'd have you on ignore instead of reading you>> Just for the record, MeDroogies was the first one to bring up the point about IQ ... in addition to the truly relevant and appropriate disclosure about his allocation/position/parking meter, now clearly in conflict with his ORCL thread postings about NewEc LTBH. I suppose I could have brought up my equally inappropriate disclosure (as far as market outlook is concerned) about my Creole heritage and all that it implies about my physical dimensions, and my Chinese heritage, and all that it implies about my acrobatic abilities. But I do not. No, the bit about IQ was uncalled for, and if I had known my IQ, I might have felt personally hurt. Chugs and continued good natured fun, but will watch myself in the future, Jay

Authority is in the eye of the beholder. Love Dylan. Absolutely 4th Street is one of my faves....and he's got a point in your quote. Still, the authorities are dependent upon what you are looking for. I look at it this way: would I prefer to win the Master's or 5 minor tournaments. My general feeling is that the Master's is cool, but 5 wins is 5 wins. So, there are a few "Masters" when it comes to opinion (Templeton, Buffett, etc.) and they're good. I like them. But there are alot of minors (I have been tempted to post articles here that support my view, but abstained for various reasons) who disagree, and not even for reasons that match mine. I'll take 5 minors to a master. Sometimes, the little guys are working harder for their information. Of course, sometimes, like Blodget, they are just trying to make a name for themselves by going out on a limb. Given that few will make a name for themselves in this market, I doubt there are many taking overt risks of that nature. I agree about what you said for the LTBH crowd and Greenspan's comments. Thing is, his comments were designed to get people to sell. Which I didn't do. Some did, for about 2 days. They felt stupid a week later when they bought in again at higher prices.
