>> I have a distinct distrust of Y2K solution companuies [sic], and in particular find the "embedded chip" problem far fetched. I do believe that these are your words, and indeed, there is no reference to TAVA, Coca Cola, GM, usw.. On the other hand, I do not recall questioning your "judgement" [sic] re TAVA. Per my other inquiry, I do anxiously await your explanation for the statement above. Now granted, it may simply be a personal opinion that you have decided to embrace, and nothing more, but what if you are wrong? Also, I said nothing of the guy and his pink thing. Why did you suppose that I was referring to someone in particular? Re "Mr. sosiak," again, I do not recall making specific reference to him, but will allow that such a conclusion probably was rational. ggg. As for having it both ways, I did not accuse you of being a hypocrite, so my comments in and of themselves were not personal. Frankly, I try hard not to focus on the individual, but rather on the individual's behavior. Your comments strike me as self-indictment. I take no responsibility. I agree with your comments re portfolio diversity. I admire people who work hard to make money, whether by the sweat of their brows or by the exchange of current between brain cells. However, I despise people who endeavor to make money by doing violence to the hopes and aspirations of well-intentioned -- and often innocent -- individuals. Are there ignorant investors posting here? I think you have already answered that question. Are there lazy investors? Probably (bit of a confession there). Do they deserve to be bullied and bloodied so a few bandits can brag about the pockets they picked? Damn, woman, there are easier targets pushing shopping carts down the streets of Washington. Why not target them as well? The end justifies the means, right? Personally, I don't subscribe to such conduct. Again, I look forward to you proving that you don't either. Ken
