Scott, >So I suppose you are against the IMF bailouts too?< I would have preferred to let the market forces determine those companies who made it and those who did not. IMO, after some went bankrupt there would have been some big $$$$$$$$$$$$$$ who would have stepped in and purchased the companies that were not managed effectively. Personally, I believe that we should not do things for others that they can do for themselves. IMO, we help others to help themselves, not bail them out. Psychology, IMO, individuals which do not have ownership in determining their future welfare and are bailed out can develop a helpless and hopeless emotional response which often is turned into anger against those assistance them. Ultimately, IMO, we should help others to develop self-sufficiency, self-actualization, self-determination, and become self-reliant and responsible for their own behavior. This is true whether they are buying AMAT, making other decisions or acting out certain behavior patterns. We is call behavior modification in some cases. Jacob and psychologist, from the medical field am I on the proper base? Just my $.02. Paul V.
