...new-economy bs is finally being exposed as the great TRANSFER of wealth from the naive PUBLIC to the informed INSIDER and Investment Bankers, that EVER occured or will again; Very well said. To put it simply -- this has been the greatest transfer of wealth in all of human history that didn't involve military conquest. And we have people like Addi, waiting for the stocks to go back up and make new highs! Little do they realize that the highs never really happened. It was just two daytraders exchanging a ticker symbol, who didn't give a damn what the thing was about. Addi reminds me of the Pacific Islander tribes who were showered with largesse by the Americans during the World War II. Once the war ended, all the goodies were gone. But the islanders always believed, and do to this day, that the good times will come back. In the words of Richard Feynman : "In the South Seas there is a cargo cult of people. During the war they saw airplanes with lots of good materials, and they want the same thing to happen now. So they've arranged to make things like runways, to put fires along the sides of the runways, to make a wooden hut for a man to sit in, with two wooden pieces on his head for headphones and bars of bamboo sticking out like antennas - he's the controller - and they wait for airplanes to land. They're doing everything right. The form is perfect. It looks exactly the way it looked before. But it doesn't work. No airplanes land."

Unlike you ADDI, I have never ONCE doubted or wavered or was wishy washy with regards to suncom. You were Guilty of ALL of the above.. Yes, the twister had it right all along. I must say it is hard to feel too sorry for some of the people on this thread or for some who have left. Their behavior when SUN was flying high was in my opinion indefensible. A lot of well sounded people warned of the dangers of a high concentration in SUN in plenty of time to have avoided the carnage. THE WATSONYOUTH
