>>I'm in S. african gold mining co's Lucretius, you make me laugh. I have 13,000 shares of one of the best juniors in play, and it's not worth much more than toilet paper. I spent most of last year out of the market because I was worried about it, and missed 2,000 points. I'm in as a Long, Hard Bull. When the inevitable correction finally happens, whether it's at 9300 or 20,000, I'll gladly suffer my 10% lumps, and smile all the way to the bank, counting the profits made in the meantime from arrogant doomsayers like you. Best, Eric By the way, I've been selling you a bunch of those Dell puts... it's been the safest and easiest money I've ever made. And if I manage to get called out ever, I'll be ecstacit to add to my long Dell position.

Hey Lucretius- Here's what Cramer had to say today - Right on the money. Boy am I getting sick of people who come on CNBC and say that stock prices are cause for worry. Here's my take: Stock prices are always cause for worry. Think about it. Stock prices were absurdly high in 1984 versus the recovery then. They were ridiculously overvalued after the Gulf War, I mean like that should have changed anything. They overshot where they should go by a mile after Clinton got elected, because after all he is a Democrat. They ramped much too much last year in light of 1996 earnings. Enough is enough is enough. Certain stocks are overvalued. I spent the day trying to get someone to write me a put on K-tel (KTEL:Nasdaq) so I could blast that piece of garbage to kingdom come. Nobody will sell them to me. Some of these faux-Internet stocks are leading-decliners-in-waiting. I want to bet the big enchilada against some bogus bio-health care stocks that not only have no cure for cancer, but have turned out to be misquoted baskets of hope. However, if I have to sit here and fret about the overall level of the market and watch the futures rip through the market all day, I know that I will be sidetracked by my main mission: looking for opportunity.
