colleen...i agree with everything you have said here...and i have made it plain that i have asked the direct questions...everybody knows that...everybody here has read them and knows they came from me...i also have made it plain that i think for myself and dont pander to anybody...i also do not demand that others think as i do, and i do not chastise them for seeing some things differently than i... i do not take rumor for granted as being factual, good or bad, though i also do not perceive the sky as imminently falling...i listen to what is being said, find out about it as best as i know how, place my faith in the good intentions of a few, cull out what i consider to be bullshit, and then decide what to do with the rest of it...when the day comes i am no longer satisfied with my own prwt conclusions, i will leave and be happy with my decision to do so...for now, i like the forecast... therefore...to the best of my ability, i will be happy to discuss any eventuality, happening, or possibility with you, or anybody else...as long as you respect the same "to me" as you have so heatedly demanded "from me". i have always said that i think opposing points of view are healthy and lead to facts, or at least to reasonable opinion... sometimes facts will not be available, so the best we can do is the best we can do...after all this time, there are those who influence some of us, who have not learned this...their followers will never learn this... so...colleen, if you want somebody to talk to about anything relevant, i will do it...but if its going to turn into some contest of narcissism and browbeating such as jhild does, day after day, then you will lose a conversationalist rather quickly...i think this is a reasonable ground rule...you want sincere discussion...fine...you want to ram financials, etc, down my throat...not interested...you choose... i will offer one little friendly warning...do not attempt to engage me with headgames...i will recognize them immediately, and you will lose... as for today...yesterday....who is selling...buying...why...totally a matter of conjecture at this point...i think it is silly, but the possibilities are endless...i do not see it as part of some sinister plan...others may spin it differently...as they like... don
