Ted, Re: <is Templeton that old guy who lives on long island?> I don't know about the Long Island part, but Sir John Templeton is well into his 80s, perhaps 90s. Established the Templeton funds(Sold to the Franklyn group) and the Templeton Prize -- the largest annual monetary award. csus.edu "John Templeton borrowed $10,000 and started a brilliant investment career, which enabled him to be one of two investors to become billionaires solely through their investment prowess." sourcesofwisdom.org (Looks like he's 89.) He's one of the best -- all the way around. I listened to the intro to wall street week again. It was 8/14/87 when he made the cross-over prediction. The dow was under 2700, the Nikkei was over 25,000. They crossed last Friday as the Nikkei closed at 9791. Re: <Only the Naz component stocks and the big names seem to be holding up.> It's got my attention. tgptndr
