Ken, I want very much to be one of THEM, but they keep blackballing me at the club meetings. <g> This time I thought somebody had actually placed a white marble in the mix, but it turns out that one of the club voters was a Republican and he was trying to prove that Dubya is right about environmental poisons by chewing all the lead paint off of his black marble. <g> But now that he is wearing a Napoleon hat and talking about being abducted by aliens, I may get his real positive vote next meeting.

It has long been my theory that crapola like Modern Portfolio Theory and The CAPM Model were invented by academics because they always lose in the market. With indexing, they can rise to mediocre for the first times in their investing lives. <g>
