Mike, Buffet was highly critical of the stock market in its final two years before the bust
he was hardly "merely standing aside with disinterest"

he said tech valuations were absurd, which is not a neutral stance
he debunked the New Economy myth, again hardly neutral
the fact that he avoided shorting tech stocks does not make him a sideliner
he actively warned investors to be careful of the bubble

the soybean argument is pure straw dog
if one never comments on soy, never invests in soy, and does not care about soy, then you make a valid argument
the argument does not transfer to Buffet and tech stocks

you will give no ground on this, because your timeframe is much shorter than Benson's
it is not a bad miss to point out an unsustainable, yet powerfully critical, factor in Asian subsidies
only a very bad miss if you wish to trade on leveraged interest rate vehicles
hats off to you, for your success

enough, jim
