RE: Abbey being simplistic You know, I am also. I hate to ever pay to much for anything. There are some great values in this market. Why won't people invest in them? I have no Idea! I think the investing basics being taught today (via all "experts" on talk radio,most on the internet,most analysts, and many brokers) are somehow flawed! No one ever mentions P/E,or explains it - Why? I can see no way (some of)these extreme valuations can be maintained, while real winners faulter. One must remember, Brokerages are in the business of selling stock! Now, that is simple. When we all understand that simple fact, things will get better, if Japan,the IMF, & Y2k,and the C.B.'s running the printing presses on W.F.O don't kill us first. rh

"I heard her speak in the early nineties and she sounded so simplistic..boy did I ever wish I had listened to hear..she stressed demographics before anybody else..." Bobby, Surely Abbey is entitled to her views...Yet it is not that simple anymore..We are at the late (last?) stage of the Bull market here in USA...As we bitterly complain about corrupt and inefficient Asia, it continues to melt creating seeds of competition of such a force that we must think twice ("do not wish for something-it may come true") Yet with full employment we attribute lackof inflation to Asian problems and thus quietly hope that crisis will continue a while longer...Yet with all demographics of baby-boomers the real "demographics" are in China, that accidentally threaten to devalue Yuan...O'key let's look at Demographics here in Usa one more time.. The country is rapidly transforming into non-white majority at a time where hate and non-acceptance among people of different cultures is escalating...Any signs of recession would make this painfuly transparent.. Very Short-term country is threatened by Clinton scandal...I would think twice about believing Abbey that 9300 is no brainer...I think it is different as Y2000 nears than it was in early ninethies...
