KT,, >I have a problem since 1968. I bought one stock in 1967 (Medtronic) and thought I knew all about the market. Since then, I've learned differently. < Gee, have the IMF and treasury department been destroying 3rd world economies to protect Wall St. and the Fed been cutting rates on options expiration day and arranging private bailout deals since the late 60s? Wow, I knew I shouldn't have cut history and economics to go to Belmont. :-) I would have been much smarter heading into the 90s. Seriously, I made a couple of minor investment errors during the late 90s based on the assumption that markets were mostly free. Otherwise I came through it totally intact. I do think the period was a 5 year horror show though. I really hope to never see anything like that again.
