because you have been dead on in the last couple of years. However, in the interest of fairness, MM If this were sport it'd be Willie Mays at 42 unsteadily circling fly balls he used to make basket catches of routinely or Muhammad Ali at 39 in 1981 after losing to Trevor Berbick or Johnny Unitas at 40 playing that last season with the San Diego Chargers in 1973. I could cite more examples but the point I'm trying to make is that even the best stay past their prime and then become the object of pity. I play a lot of poker and have taken to heart the saying” don’t count your money until the game is over". Thousands on SI and perhaps as high as millions worldwide forecast in 2000 that the market was headed for a crash. No one person holds sole bragging rights. Ed

that's just great victor... only i never said buy gold until late 2000. I was in tech during the bubble years...I was a mcse, I made my money rolling out networks, y2k upgrades, web servers, etc..I quit right at the end of 1999 to trade full time. I made quite a lot of money investing in b2b companies before they were even known as b2b. I had my own small web publishing business and was a microsoft solution provider. I was trying to get into the "microsoft digital nervous system" group. That was the was what these web companies were known as before just b2b. I bought a basket of companies that were in this elite group. most when up 1000% over 1999 early 2000. I knew these were garbage firms...that this was a pure bubble..so i quit working in tech to trade...I figured i could make more dumping my tech longs and getting short for the post y2k tank job. I also got into biotech in early 2000 but left piles on the table..I didn't think they would run as far as they did with everything else selling off...anyhow..I moved into gold longs at the end of 2000 when it became clear to me that greenspan was going to cut rates to nothing and print money like water...I read up on the problems the dollar will face long term and decided i had best protect my family against this manic fed. anyhow..bell ringing...gots to go.. bambs p.s. hgmcy 52 week high again...how nice. :)
