Dave, I may be naive when it comes to market cycles, but don't you see a difference in the economy of the 1970's versus the economy today? example 1: inflation example 2: technology JH p.s. if Dell dropped into the 50's & 60's.....BACK UP THE TRUCKS!!!

<Facts. You don't like my facts> This is the first time I remember hearing your facts. No, I don't "dislike" your "facts". I disagree with them. There is a difference. I "dislike" you calling the thread "disillusional"..that was unnecessary. < The price someone is willing to pay...> This is a fact? <Comparing oil drillers to Dell, Dell's high PE> We can pursue this if you wish...this is more interesting... <Nifty fifty comparison to Dell> Again, this is more interesting to discuss...one point to chew on: Compare the economic environment of 1974 to today in your comparison.... <Daytraders cushioning this stock> What proof do you have for this? Sorry for the short responses....if you are willing to expand on your arguments, I would gladly expansively respond..These are not new arguments here, and they have been discussed at length, but they are worthy of revisiting again and again... <All I am suggesting is that these are dangerous times...time to take money off the table> Let me suggest that if an investors would have made a long bet with any of the tech-bellweathers during any of the "dangerous times" of the past 5 years, you would have looked like a genius.. In short, you think it is 1974 again? I say it is 1995, 1996, 1997, or 1998....the thread can decide which period today most closely resembles...Again, if you elaborate on your answer, I will accordingly...
