Now, Now, Augie... You don't get a lynch mob over here, unless you plop like the proverbial turd in the punch bowl and make outrageous statements like "Seek's going out of business" or "Seek's going to $4"... We're a lot more civil over here than you give us credit. Sure, we had a rough couple of weeks when someone attempted thread dominance through lack of insight or research... but we've thoroughly recovered and resumed our dirt naps. And had some fairly good "conversations" as well. (BTW, I don't think the "correction" is over, either. Friday looked like a big invitation to a big party where individual investors are the main items on the menu.) There is no litmus test. My own preference is for analysis, research, links, reasonable speculation, etc. And, when you I and first crossed on Yahoo!, I was the guy who was saying SEEK was heading back to $8 right before it went to $12. That established me as the Pauper of Short-Term Predictions. I've since gotten even worse at this art. And your kid DOES have it right. Buy, hold, and let everbody else get old quickly with "shrewd" trades and huge tax liabilities. You should visit more often. Best Regards, c m The Lynch Committee Vice-Chair
