Alan- In re: "Bears like Metz, Mr. BowTie, etc. are obvious can- didates." Upon inspection of the archives, I came upon a missive perhaps worthy of reposting. It might lend weight to the argument, launched in some quarters, that Mr. BowTie may be a candidate not for an award, but for a ward at Bellevue's Investment Guru Shrine of Fame. To wit, "To: Khris Vogel (404 ) From: Truman Bradley Jan 25 1997 7:10PM EST Reply #436 of 741 For those who have doubts that Mr. Bow Tie has not taken leave of his senses, it would be worth your while to pick up the most recent "Barron's" magazine (27 Jan 1997). Consider the table on page 31 entitled "Rogers' Picks"...... Potatoes Nov. '97. Black and white pepper from Kuala Lumpur. Sri Lankan tea. The Uruguayan stock market. Eastern Highlands listed in Zimbabwe. And let's not give short shrift to a seat on the Sydney Futures Exchange to round out some of his bullish picks. Perhaps, it is time Mr. Bow Tie plans another motorcycle trip. May I suggest an itinerary that includes a grand tour of the asylums of Europe. Disclaimer: Do not blame your broker if he hangs up on you after you place your orders a la Bow Tie." --------------------------------------------------------- None of Roger's aforesaid 1997 bullish investment picks are routinely tabulated in Barron's or the Wall Street Journal or any other publication I could readily find. However, most would doubtless agree it were an easier task to find the prices of these exotic investment vehicles than it would ever be to invest in them per se. Illiquidity, thy name is BowTie.
