True enough, my thing is (1) I'm 61 and may not live long enough to see the mania end. (2) I think it won't end before a very big crash. And that type of crash it will take to end the mania will also take down the best of the value buys you can find today. (3) I don't think but a few people will see it coming, and they may sound a few alarms, but there has been so many of them hardly no one will pay them any heed. -------------- I'm not forecasting a crash or at least not a time table, but at the heart of value investing is a life style that if it does come , you will not be extended to the degree that you can't survive it with out getting tossed out in the street. Your hopes may suffer , but your actual plans do not require you to count on money that may be tied up in stocks that can become worthless. You understand that when it comes to security, no one is any more secure than their closet friend. Jim
