Spots, I jumped back on the horse today and bought KLIC April $25 calls - of course, I immediately got my nose bloodied in Round 1, but I've bought lots of time. Hoping for big earnings numbers Friday a.m. Kent

I have been pondering the same thing. What if? What I realize is when everyone is asking the same question and things appear bleak is when the markets do the opposite! The markets have been beaten down a great deal. There are exceptional bargains in certain stocks and several industry groups. Inflation will not be the major problem. Rather, disinflation is the challenge. The helium investment balloon is leaking off some air pressure to prevent rupture and/or a market melt down. The fact of the matter, we still have baby boomers looking towards retirement benefits and the government with NEVER be able to carry us all on government social services upon retirement. So, the open markets will continue to be the arena for speculation and investing. Afterall, what is the alternative? I could trade you two pairs of brown shoes for a steak?
