Jay, Mq caught me in a bad mood today. No I was not insanely sort or even moderately short today or Friday for that matter, but rather I am pissed at myself for missing a two day rally. Actually, although Mq and I are on opposite sides of the QCOM fence, most of the time I am laughing at how the simplest of conversations somehow, some way manages to get spun into a tale on the mighty Q. Today it struck me the wrong way. M

< ...it is all in the anticipation of events to come. > Ah, Jay, it's so nice to have somebody who understands why things are as they are. That is just so! Getting there is half the fun. As soon as the goal is achieved, there's not much point in just sitting around looking at the view. Look how the amazing panopoly of developments have been quickly moved from the front page and top of mind to part of cultural context with little attention paid. There is a vast tsunami of human creativity tumbling into reality and with 6 billion of us increasingly living way above the lower reaches of Maslow's hierarchy of needs [see rant 314152], the rate is increasing. Especially since cloning, ideas and the like have made instant global adoption easy. There's no need to build another acid plant or steel mill - simply click "I accept" and the product is ready to use at near-zero marginal production costs. Yes, anticipation and fantasy are great. Once converted to reality, they are good, but less exciting than expectation. <Nikkei and Dow will fall in April, then again in August, October, and will be down for the year in December, as Easy Al drip-feeds the market, hoping for a market that simply stops falling, never mind going up. The markets will not stop falling unless there is fear. There is no fear now, because Al's drip numbs the pain. The drip-feed tube will be removed or ripped out, in time, one way or another.> Oh heck Jay, things were just getting to be fun again. Okay, out with the wet blanket. I hoped the Trinidadian magic would stick for a while. Why should Uncle Al stop dripping $$ into the drip-feed tube? Like any regular addict, I'd like a dosage increase. Mq PS: Welcome back [not that anyone leaves cyberspace until they go to the recyclers]. When avatars are good enough, we won't even know if somebody has gone or not... their avatar will keep right on posting, predicting doom [or irrational exuberance] for eternity.
