<This remains to be seen since it is possible this is the bottom. Now I did not call this a bottom<VVBG> But if it happens to be one, buying now turns out to be lucky. Of course, if it is not, it is a bad idea. > Glenn, i have no problem with folks making honest bullish calls right now. hj for example has been buying over the last few weeks. regardless of whether he regrets those decisions or not <g>, his stocks and purchase prices are right there in his profile (at least last time i looked <g>). but my feeling over the past year is that certain folks have been touting stocks on these threads, not so much because technical analysis was telling them it was a good time to buy these stocks (obviously not the case in hindsight <g>) but because it was just their habit or something. i really don't know. i just find it hard to understand how such smart folks would really believe it was a good time to buy these stocks. (unless for a short term trade, but these buys were rarely if ever identified as such, and this one folk was presenting himself as a buy and holder.) sorry i'm bringing this up again. i just feel very strongly about it. rob
