Bean Man Glad to have you back and posting. Why are you so negative on 1998? And don't feed us those old gut feeling lines please. I am quite optimistic because because I see the US economy in its best shape in decades. Stable and minimal inflation rates. Falling interest rates. Decreasing budget deficit. etc. All of this could tumble should Saddam or another of his ilk (North Korea, Libya) do something really insane. When I say "pay more attention to the gut when it says get out" I don't think Vanni will object. The subconcious mind can yield signals long before a well-reasoned analysis can be constructed. Over the summer I have been deliberately ignoring signs that a trading top was at hand and played buy-and-hold. The root is greed, and fear that I would miss out on a further run in a choppy but rising market. Earlier in the spring I had been way too quick to take small profits when the real money was yet to be had. Somewhere in between there is a happy medium for me. Got to be quicker to pull the trigger on the sell side. Happy to explain. The "gut" phrase is shorthand for most of the above. Leo

Beanster I had noticed the "coincidences" you noticed. Almost simultaneous. I do not like what I see. I'm not at all certain that the the new is the same as the old. Course I'm the same guy that thought there must be at least three performers wearing the lable of "Bobby Dylan." The one who was there from the folkie days thru Blond on Blond, the one who went country with Nashville Skyline and John Wesley Harding, and the final incarnation who has been in place since New Morning. Sheer fantasy of course. Or was the franchise worth a little deception? I could lend my password to my brother in law, (who recently gave up on Corel and is quite knowledgable on the company.) You would know within a dozen posts that the author had changed. Leo
