That is my 401k, the one I couldn't screw with. My other account is speeding to zero. I don't think things will turn around (in slow motion at that) until 2nd quarter of 2002. A few weeks ago I vowed not to even look at my port for six months... just can't quit peeking.

Investors Business Daily in one of ONeill's books has the story of the farmer and the turkeys. Farmer has a turkey trap and sets it up to catch soem turkeys. Only problem is the trap is held up by a stick and once you pull the rope string the trap closes. So the farmer sets the trap up puts some feed in it and before long has 3/4 turkeys eating the feed. He thinks aloud " Boy if I could get another 3/4 turkeys I would be set would have enough turkey for most of the year. So finaly he has 10 turkeys in the trap and says " Boy if I could get an even dozen we would have turkey every month for a year." At that point 2 turkeys leave. He then wishes he could get back to ten and no sooner does that happen then 3 more turkeys leave. then obviously the farmer wishes for 7 and by the time he closes the trap there are only 2 turkeys left. Hardly worth the effort.. The morale of the story go to the supermarket and buy chicken or next time lets not be so greedy...<ggg>
