<I think of these wagers as carrots, not on a stick, but in the garden. I plant today to harvest tomorrow, as long as no one dig up the seedlings in the mean nasty time.> And as you know, there are always some naughty young whipper snappers waiting for the grumpy old geezer to be out of sight so they can uproot said carrots, remove the good part, and replant the rest to be discovered by the puzzled grumpy old geezer. Maybe by having been said naughty youth you know how to avoid such depredations. But maybe they have new tricks; while you are guarding your carrots they are sneaking in through cyberspace. Mqurice

But why hold a losing position until it reaches the top? You get behind the lemmings as they go over the cliff - not stand in front of them on the edge while the horde approaches no? There are so many fund managers plugging J6P's money into GOOG finance.yahoo.com % of Shares Held by All Insider and 5% Owners: 54% % of Shares Held by Institutional & Mutual Fund Owners: 38% % of Float Held by Institutional & Mutual Fund Owners: 82% Exactly when do you expect fidelity, vanguard, morgan stanley, and goldman sachs to stop buying and to dump all thier shares and drive the price way down? They have got to stick all that cash somewhere and they don't want to be dumb like slant eye chinese and buy worthless US debt. Yes Humvees must become cheaper, then Bush can continue war effort with cheaper war toys. I plant today to harvest tomorrow, as long as no one dig up the seedlings in the mean nasty time. HAHA - I love your spirit General! Go get coconut's copy of Aesop's Fables! pacificnet.net On CNOOC I opt for none of the Above - what good is buying oil contracts going to do them if we still take the product? Raymond will rob coconuts baby food when he is starving and unless you stop em she goes hungry - but if you put your General Chen BFG (big fuggin gun) square between his eyes and pull the trigger DEATHMATCH style and end his hunger problem all is not well - they better get into some humvees and nuclear missles of thier own - because according to nti.org they have 400 nuclear warheads vesus Bush Jr's 10 thousand and he can't go out being a WAR PRESIDENT without some big fireworks now can he? Daddy told him not to do that middle east war but Jr said he answered to a higher father. Once the greedy power mongers and fearful politicians make the decision to hit slant eye with the big stick, getting 250 mil rednecks to sign off on it will be the easy part.

TobagoJack Re: "GOOG" With CSCO there are bound to be lots of shareholders with a cost basis that is just a tiny fraction of the present CSCO share price due to the incredibly well run CSCO ponzi scheme back in the 1990's. I know a couple of them. GOOG is different in that the best that any of the current holders are doing is a tax-wise triple, a thin cushion compared to many in CSCO. I would think this could make the GOOG "run for the exits" even stronger if it ever gets started. Maybe. Slagle
