Mary, do not confuse age with wisdom. I am only 35 but I know a mania when I see one and I expect the end result will be the most severe bear market since the Great Depression. We shall see. Mike

Mary, Thank you for your kind words. The difference is, I see what I see. I have been long lots of tech stocks over the past 30 years. In fact, I was the only person I know long lots of tech stocks in 1991 and 1992. I agree about the future. What I do not agree about is that the stocks should be priced at a level that discounts that future completely and leaves a lot of price in the issues that cannot be explained by anyone's forecast. You may trust a hired gun more than you trust me. I trade for my own account, so my bias is toward making lots of money. Deloitte has a bias toward doing what the client wants. I do wnat to tell you one thing you can count on. If I thought that the earnings next year had any chance of making the current bloated stock prices reasonable, I wouldn't mind saying I was wrong. But, the sad thing is, the companies pulling a scam on greedy investors does nothing for the economy, other than transfer investor money to insiders. BTW, did you read the CPI news I quoted in a message to all above? That puts the big lie to most of the Xmas lies. Good Luck, MB
