BGR, re. some PM proof by somebody who may not like Mike doesn't mean anything. The fact is a there are a lot of people who take it personal when their stocks are criticized. And, the fact of the matter is Michael Burke is here on SI for about 3 years and he had the same forum on Prodigy classic for about 2 years before that. His record was tested enough during this period. I never said he is 100% right all the time. I went long on some of the things he was short. But, the fact the he is time tested and with more than 55,000 posts on that forum should tell you something. You can try all you want to discredit him. It will not work - IMO! Also, we will see how many people will flock to the "Ask BGR" thread in 3 years. The deal here is that even identical twins don't think alike. You seem to approach this market with the idea that we are in a "new era." I, MB or Earlie approach it with a "bubble" notion. You think risk in owning stocks is same as driving on a highway. We think driving by a blind man is not only dangerous to him but also to the others on the road. GreenSpam and Rubin's tulip market, unfortunately, put too many blind men on the road. I don't calim a perfect 20/20 vision. I at least think I am a one-eyed person in the land of the blind. We, especially I, have no intention of changing your ideas. But, you keep pushing yourself to change ours. It ain't gonna happen. I have read enough about past bubbles. I have read enough about the devastating effects of credit bubbles. Counting heads in India and China to project demand for PCs might work for Michael Dell and you, I will not be convinced of it. Thank you very much! If you want to talk about "Should Italian born Sonia Gandhi should be allowed to be Prime Minister of India?" I will be open for that topic. Good luck!
