Well, I notice the closing asked price was already nearly 6 points higher than what I paid. I think it could have been got even cheaper about 9:45 a.m., since it was dropping fast then. But my usual experience is initial elation follwoed by months or years of grinding disappointment.

John,

Check this out. Plug in any book title and find the cheapest prices around. I can hear Amazon's margins shrinking by the second. :o)

BTW, an excellent read for those interested regarding speculative bubbles in history and the manias which accompanied them.
