<<30% of S&P mktcap tied to financial companies plus another 10% of S&P profits come from financial subsidiaries of non-fin corporations so one could conclude that 40% or so of US major corporations are financial in nature this is horrendous >> Thats one part of the market that has me concerned, the sheer quantity people playing with an investors dollar. All the newsletters, analysts funds, brokers, bank, and mortgage writers, take a chip out of the value of an equity. If people did not continually add money to equities they would get eaten away. I'm not worried about it yet-have more or less given up the old buy-and-hold strategy on name-brand stocks anyway. But I do resent having to go to trading to make a decent living. Its a lot of work. Hope you are doing well Sig
