Hi All, I read this on the DELL thread this morning. For those of you who know DELL, Chuzzlewit wrote this. I thought it would be good for our investment blood pressures and attitudes. "In the interests of investment ecology I will provide you with a brief bestiary. 1. The astrologer bear (Ursa fairytailiensis). This bear is frequently seen inhabiting garbage dumps where it examines the patterns of refuse. It then loudly proclaims that all of the food in you refrigerator is going to rot, and get rid of it now. Whereupon it eats everything it is thrown. More often than not this bear dies of terminal flatulence. 2. The value bear (Ursa itaintworthitiensis). This bear watches the prices you pay for your food at the supermarket, and starts screaming something about it being great food, but your paying way too much. He hopes you will sell him your food cheap. This bear frequently starves to death. 3. The analyst bear (Ursa theemperorhasnoclothesiensis)> This bear is quite distinct from the other two, and very rare. He scouts your house and lets you know that the foundation is crumbling. In some cases he has shown that your entire edifice is built on nothing but air. This bear is a very useful animal because he keeps the bull herds in check. He will periodically eat a very sick bull, thus maintaining the health of the overall heard. Unfortunately, there is an ecological copycat out there called the false analyst bear (see below) who is a very dangerous animal indeed. 4. The false analyst bear (Ursa pseudosmart). This bear is not a true bear, but is actually a chameleon who can impersonate either a bear or a bull. He frequents large brokerage houses and can be recognized by constantly changing his opinions. He eats when his unwary prey follows his analysis. He has a symbiotic relationship with market makers and money managers. His diet is composed of the money he makes when you follow his advice and lose your money. The common thread amongst these bears is that in order for you to be eaten by them, they must first scare you. The exception to this rule is the analyst bear, where you will be eaten if you don't listen to him. As FDR said, "We have nothing to fear but fear itself". Or as Dorothy said in "THe Wizard of OZ" "Lions and tigers and bears, oh my!" I retyped this as I am some times computer challenged. I take credit for typos but did want to share this with the thread. I think it is great. AnnieO ( relaxing on this lovely summer day enjoying my fresh lemonade)

Chuzzlewit continues: "I need to add some detail to the bear hunting methods. They surround your house and start howling. "This baby is gonna fall. Eat dust". Then across the street there are a bunch of bears hollering "That's a great house you got there, but you know, houses just like that are going for 30% less in parts of Shangrila. Better sell while you can." Then they all run inside and raid your refrigerator. So the moral of the story is, stay inside your house and bears will go away. You know they've moved out of your neighborhood when they set up their own thread. That way they can maintain the illusion that someone is listening to them." _____________________________________________________________________ The DGIV bears are still outside hollering. Every once in awhile they make a run at our house. They have tried everything from the windows to coming down the chimney. They even try to blast through our foundation. We just need to stay in our house and enjoy the summer and ignore the hollering. IMO AnnieO
