GREAT news Truman! Just what we need are more gloom and doom articles to keep us from "irrational exuberance".

I sort of wonder about these boomer articles. They seem to forget that we can open the flood gates at anytime to allow workers in to fill any level in the spectrum from lettuce pickers to Wintel Programmers and UTEK steppers. Most come from countries with much higher savings rates too. Today I just heard there was an increase in high tech workers where Clinton is letting in 100,000 rather than the 60,000 per year quota. Our graduate schools are filled with foreign born students. These are the ones that will make good money and pay our social security and fund the IRA's.

Anyway, I think said "food intake challenged lady" will sing long before 2008 as I imagine we will not see an orderly increase in valuation and we will see irrational exuberance that will bring on a bear. Hopefully, we will see it and be on the sidelines well before the fall.

Thanks for the reading tips Truman. I know of layoffs in Milwaukee due to the Asia downturn and would venture to say that if the dow is going to reach 9000 this year, its window of opportunity is the next month or so. The 2000 problem will assert itself by the fourth quarter. Besides, the Packers lost. --AG
