Dipy: > why should I be bitter? I Dont know... You tell me! I have a thesis on why you are bitter.. but I rather hear it from you. :) > I have not lost money on any tech stock or fund. I sold them all, long before they tanked... You have been a pessimist bear since the beginning of the tech stock boom, and as long as I remember (proof of which are your posts on this very thread since 1996). So how on earth could you have sold your tech stocks if you did not invest in them to begin with! Could it be that your bitterness toward techs and bulls such as me is due to the fact that you spent time rationalizing the world and the market, and talked so much about logic, mania, bulls, bears, etc. etc. etc., instead of actually investing in the techs right at the beginning of the boom?! But hey it is never too late.. you can still jump on and enjoy hefty gains in a few years down the road to enjoy your retirement fully! > If anybody has to be bitter towards tech stocks, it has to be those who were 100% in tech and underperformed even "cash under the mattress" over the last six years... I kind of a agree with you. However I doubt very much that everyone can be bitter simply because most (if not all) sold "some" as their investments grew and made quite an impressive amount of profits for them to enjoy, and which makes it affordable for them now to hold on to what they have, and accumulate during this once a life time opportunity. Also regarding your (usual) arrogant comment of using me as an indicator for you to turn bull (when I turn a bear), did I tell you that the day you see me talking as a bear or as a pessimist would be the day that hell has freezed over (at least 100 times)?! Therefore if I were you I would stick to my star reading chart and psychic hot line to get the sign to become bullish again! :) And of course you can alsways continue writing your book on bulls, bears, mania, bubbl,e 1929, 1987, techs, rationalizing the market, etc. etc. etc. as a hobby! Anyway, come on Dipy.. dont be such a stiff, even at 60-70 years of age, you still must have some sense of humor left in you! So take it easy and dont be too bitter... I need you over in that Islamic religion thread to go after the guys who try to rationalize some of the most outragous teachings of all time! :) Regards,
