cb, saw something very funny on one of those nightly tv shows. this guy spent $350k on a baseball field in his back yard in a ritzy neighborhood. his neighbors were pissed b/c they said it made too much noise. he's being sued right and left by neighbors and the city. when asked what his plans were if the suits forced him to shut the field down he said, "yeah, i'll move to a white trash neighborhood, where i'll fit in, build a field and be appreciated." i thought that was so funny. ;-)

CB, It is a brave new world. And the good news is that most players in financials, including pros, don't know how to operate the critter. That makes the pickin's pretty good over the long haul, as long as you don't let their phony stats fool you into being reckless with your money. I remember, as a kid, my Father having to quit a job he liked because he was only making $25 a week. Yes, that was back in the Stone Age, but it was long after the period Siegel talks about. And I can guarantee he wasn't putting $15 a month into good stocks. <G> MB
