>>I understand your point. The only thing is this particular manager has a 20-year history of high return in his fund. Like 17% annual average through bull and bear markets. Which is why it is puzzling that he invested in Amazon.<< the last 20 years have been essentially a single bull market with relatively minor and short lasting corrections. at least until 2000. i bet the fund mgr you speak of lost quite a bit since march 2000... that was when the real bear reared his head. >>Anyway, here's an item more to your liking. Car repossessions are way up in Palo Alto area. Hundreds of cars have been repo'ed right from Cisco parking lots and from restaurant lots.<< i read the article. i've always believed that personal finance s/b a course in grade school and high school. it only makes sense. however, big business doesn't want responsible spending behavior so i'm sure they make sure it isn't taught.
