Hi Poet, This is a wonderful thread indeed. And personally, I think it needs a little estrogen on a regular basis. -g Just try not to get any on the carpet. Shack just finished shampooing them... <g> <Clappy takes a look down at his man-boobs and decides to pass on the punchbowl filled with estrogen, orange juice, and champagne, and instead walks over to the CFZEWW buffet table and grabs a few buffalo wings and a tall beer, and then plants himself near the TV waiting for the football pregame show to start...> -LomasBrownsJockstrap

ONly because it's Sunday and early will I exude a little estrogen on this hallowed thread. I have great respect for testosterone and Allan. I am 80-90% cash at the moment-- even the mutual funds are cashed out, which probably is some sort of early Josephine6P indicator-- après moi, le déluge Also at a dinner party last night, I noticed that when I mentioned something about the market, a deathly pall came over the group, eyes glazed and the subject was quickly covered over. I had committed a grievous faux pas- as if I had burped loudly or eaten the pasta with my fingers. I was lucky they would even pass the salt to me after it. Now not long ago, the market was a socially acceptable topic; stories of how much their tech stocks had gone up, eager questions about "what are you buying?", and opinionated lectures on the New Paradigm abounded. Well, whoops. Is there a psychological progression to the bear that's equivalent to Kubler-Ross' Stages of Grief? Denial-- hmm- down 100.00 a share-- just a little dip- better buy more Anger- what the hell is management thinking? They better replace that CEO! Bargaining- GOd, just let me get out even and I'll never invest in anything riskier than CDs again. Depression- I have lost my family's inheritance/IRA/life's savings/college tuition, and we are going to eat macaroni for the next twenty five years, and I hate macaroni Acceptance- Local community colleges can provide a fine education. Working til I'm 95 is probably good for my health, and macaroni is ok with cheese.
