Earlie,

Yes, the gang responded and I'm grateful to them all (MB, Thomas, Mike, Wayne). Thanks again. Now all I have to do is assimilate all that info and I'll be able to predict the exact date of the crash. After I've determined that, I'll let you know what that date is. If I can narrow it down to the hour, I'll let you know that too. <g>

However, I honestly wonder whether I'm over analyzing this market. I try not to label myself a bull or bear (although some friends label me a jacka** <g>) and instead attempt to accept the market for what it is and just take what it gives me. Kinda Zen like, ya know? It's difficult for me not to have bear like tendencies though. Internuts, overpriced tech stocks, etc are areas that I try to stay away from 'cause they don't seem to make sense, but to be honest, I'm tired of seeing my friends paying for their new 540is and CLKs with profits from those types of "investments" while I take the moral high ground and find value investments which, after I buy them, become an even better value. While this may not be a new pair of dimes, I honestly wonder if there are some changes occurring which are having more subtle, yet profound effects than I thought possible. Sigh. After reading that last sentence, I realize that my capitulation is further along than I thought. 'Scuse me. I have to go put in my market order for some YHOO. <g>
