Joe, Just Steve, but he never knows what is going on in the real world. -g- Actually, I did a lot of hand-holding with bull friends today. Telling them they are not stupid just because they invest stupidly. -g- They still have value as human beings, just not in their leveraged brokerage accounts. MB

joe, when i said amat was overpriced and just silly, a lonely person rebutted me and said it was a great long term investment. i then asked this lonely person if he was buying at those levels - that is where the rubber hits the road. it took him two days to respond (kinda weird for a lonely guy ;-) and amat was already in the low $40s ;-) said he wouldn't recommend it at $52 anymore ;-) this bubble is blowing up in many people's face. wait until the boomers get their 401k statements this q :-) now we're in the $30s ;-)
