IKE: Thanks very much for this post; this is one of your best, most succinct statements of protective strategy that is easily executed by the average small investor, and adjustable, depending on the make-up of the individual's portfolio. Your ongoing market commentary and advice is, I'm sure, a bedrock of stability in uncertain times for readers of this thread. The fact that you give of your experience and time so freely is testimony to your positive and generous spirit. I'm very grateful for your efforts and I wish you and yours a most joyful holiday season, and a prosperous new year. Regards, vocex
