BK This is IMO the downfall of the Bears argument. If you look at the world environment at any given time, you will surely find a laundry list of reasons you could choose not to invest. But waiting for the perfect time, when there are no devaluations, or unemployment, or bank crises, or an outbreak of peace(God help us!), one will be waiting forever. If this is truly how you feel, you will never find opportunities, since there are always counterbalances to making any investment, whether it be in AMAT or gold or wheat. What can I say...WELL SAID!

Call that the downfall of the Bears? <bg> I really appreciate bears who come out and say I made X% today shorting this and that, instead of just rehashing things we know already but have filed away at the back of our minds 'cos life has to go on and not all of us can afford to sit on our hands and wait..... bwdik... mano
