Tony, I enjoyed that iTulip link. Funny indeed. More than funny .... Liked the J.K.Galbraith quote: "Speculation on a large scale requires a pervasive sense of confidence and optimism and conviction that ordinary people were meant to be rich. People must also have faith in the good intentions and even in the benevolence of others, for it is by the agency of others that they will get rich... The common folks believe in their leaders... Such a feeling of trust is essential for a boom." conviction - faith - benevolence - common folks - trust what a religion! ------------- I wonder if these kids are making money selling their authentic-looking iTulip.com souvenir e-stock certificates. "The truth is, just like a real Internet company, if we run out of shares we at iTulip.com will just print more." I wonder if many people bought them for stocking-stuffer gags. Wish my kids would try an entrepreneurial stunt like this ... Cheryl
