max90. You are right. Given the exponential (compounded) rate of growth of stocks the entry point for a true long term investor is irrelevant as in the long run the thing will grow to infinite. Yes I was aware of the street.com piece and others but since I did not hear the official voice of the company and ousiders (and even insiders) sometimes cannot tell what is really going, I did not give it as much importance. In any event I am well aware of the stocks volatility and feel OK even at the poteltial drop into the 20's. However if indeed the amount/type of attention given to a big shot analyst/mutual fund manager is different from that given to an average Joe, this IMO would not be fair. Do you disagree with this last statement as well? Pancho PS: your response to my post was very clever. You have made it to my people's marks for further exploring of your posts. I am always willing to learn!
