chic, dude, you've had an exciting few years since graduation! "may you live in interesting times" is and old chinese curse from what i understand. just think about all those 60 year old clowns that don't know what you know. my dad's doctor buddy put massive amounts of dough in the 'daq when it was 4500. he wanted to be more aggressive, if you know what i mean. 60+ years old, bro, doin' dumb chit like that. my dad is pretty conservative, but i think my "amazon has a broken business model, i'm in awe at the stupidity in the markets, this is gonna bust, bubble, bubble, bubble, greenspam is spamming america with green, alan the printer is selling the country short, hedonic pricing - inflation is under reported, chained weighted dollars - the new economy is a statistical fabrication and all hell is gonna break loose when this dam breaks" mantra had some impact." he was skeptical, but being a rational guy, he couldn't much argue with valuations 5 and 6 times the norm. nobody has ever contested this thesis that the net is bad for business b/c the #1 profit contributor is consumer ignorance - something that the net reduces... an educated customer is a retailers worst enemy. i've spouted that crap for 3-4 years now and get accused of being a broken record. i think it's true, though! anyway, you last bank. but you almost have as much as you lost. therefore, you still have bank! not bad. i wish i was a smart as you at 24. maybe even 34, too ;-) best of luck. focus on what you have... some great bucks and some cool knowledge to multiply those bucks with eyes wide open... check out siliconinvestor.com for a way to maximize return without risking much capital - worst case scenario is down 5-6% in a year. best case is... well, you know what amd calls did for ya...
