well, first you imply that i am bitter having missed out on the 90s boom, I think you may be a little over the top bearish in this market but I don't think I ever implied you were bitter. If I did, it was not by intent. then on my comment on buy the dip... which was pretty innocuous you retort about only buying at the bottom I thought you were asking me if I was buying WCOM on the dip........my answer was no, I'm looking to buy when it finishes bottoming. and on the goe political front you imply that the world today is no different than 3 or years ago. I didn't say that.....what I did say is that there is always something to worry about.........they call it the markets' wall of worry. Ever since I started investing/trading in stocks in 1996, there has been always something for the markets to be freaked out about.....so what! You do what you need to do to protect/hedge your bets against whatever the current world problem is and then go on. And there is always something.....the potential collapse of Russia, the ongoing economic malaise of Japan, the strong dollar, the weak dollar, the Chinese shooting down of an American spy plane, the Israeli/Palestinian conflict in 1996, in 1998, in 2000, in 2002 etc. Lets put it this way.........if Pakistan nukes India, sadly it ain't going to make a whole lot of difference whether you were bearish or bullish on these markets. As a matter of fact the only thing that will make a difference is whether you are able to survive or not. So I choose to believe we will muddle through.....somehow; that our desire to survive is stronger than our desire to be crazy. ted
