Sam, OT <<Hey, Fleckenstein stole Stitch's favorite quote: "Usually, there's a chain of events over a number of days that drives market developments. This is generally what I try to focus on. My view of the action is just that: My view. It is biased. You could describe my opinion in a humorous (if not accurate) way as, 'Often wrong but never in doubt.'>> Well, he didn't steal it from me. I always had heard it as "Seldom right, but never in doubt" from my late best friend who sadly died in a car accident a few years ago. A former Annapolis grad, nuclear sub officer, Harvard MBA, and Rickover fan, he claimed it was a Rickover quote. It acknowledges, in a self deprecating way, that bit of stubborness in us that can sometimes can overcome even being wrong. In other words, he (and I) put a high currency on tenacity. I think Fleck does too. However I am sure he will admit that he may be getting a little gnarly standing stiff in the head wind for so long. Kinda like this fellow: ourworld.compuserve.com But then I hope I look that good when I am 3,000 years old. Best, Stitch
