Dear Joseph, please go back and pay careful attention to the punctuation of the material cited. It's there for a reason. Everything in quotations is a direct quote from the source. Brackets indicate that material was added; here, statements in brackets are my comments. Ellipses ( . . . ) indicate that material was omitted. The "quality" of the frenzy is subjective, of course. To paraphrase a comment I made earlier to the thread, in my opinion paying $65 or $70 a share for Dell is not equivalent to buying a coach-and-six for a tulip bulb. I am sure that we can agree that some things are overpriced without partaking of the qualities of a bubble. (For example, I don't really know what a Lamborghini costs, or a Phillippe Patek watch, but even if I had it, I wouldn't pay it.) I thought that my point was cogent, that in a true bubble the price paid bears no resemblence to that which which would be paid by an expert in the field. Very truly yours, CobaltBlue
