That's a funny story. Just about everything better than NT.

See JP is back but leaving again. Sad. I'm going to miss his insightful analysis.

You hear the one about John Roth going to Church? Anyway, John looks awful and is obviously terribly worried. He goes up to his priest (or Rabbi, or Mullah, or whatever) and says "Father, I am deeply troubled. My company is doing very badly. What should I do?"

"Seek the advice of the Good Book", replies the priest. "Open it and follow its counsel."

John goes off and the priest doesn't think about him for a while until Roth shows up for Mass, and he looks very happy. New clothes, beaming expression, fawning admirers, the whole package.

After the service, the priest collars John, and asks him about the amazing change.

"Simple", replies John, "I followed your advice and opened up the bible. There before me was the answer to all my problems".

"What did it say?", gasps the Priest.

"Chapter 11."

Ok.... so that's an old joke, but a lot of widows and pensioners are getting screwed by their buy and hold money managers. A lot more REAL misery coming down the pipe.
