OTOH, it could be that 'fools rush in.' <g> ... (Thought you might like that one, Greg ... who's the artist?) pbull: as one of the more mature posters I see here <g> who doesn't use market moves to kick sand in the faces of imaginary 'enemies,' I want to say that I appreciate your candid style and opinions. I see that even here, previously undisclosed claims of having bought last week or yesterday or two hours ago are only 'revealed' after the stocks in question have moved in a way favorable to the 'image' <LOL> of the poster. I want to remark about this, from the POV that I had, from necessity, to learn long ago that it's simply not the case. Some claim to value, for example, the EEs who developed numerous highly innovative, leading-edge patented products, but in the end, no one is ever irreplaceable. <<And a side effect of this, and I think this is really important, are the CEOs of all those companies that are about to announce more layoffs. This just has to give them pause. Do we really want to lose our experienced people, people we've trained ourselves and who know our culture?>> Damned right, they do ... new crops of 'em at half or one-third of the starting salaries of the old guard. As well, the top management themselves 'change' ... and want 'their people' in place to ... well, to 'support' (a** kiss or brown nose -- lol) them okay? The culture? Lip service. This is not new stuff. Corporate politics, same as they ever were. bia
