New to this stock-technically this looks good as new highs tend to make more new highs. I like the potential for a nice split run up over the next few weeks. I just wanted to congratulate those that stuck it out with this company over the years. You are some serious smarties. Kudos. Keep up the good work. I think there's at least one more split in this baby again later in the year.

Why does Greenspan have to go up and talk to Congress so frequently? What can he tell these people that he hasn't already told them? I think that this guy is a pompous ass who believes his own press. Does he just like to hear himself talk and show his face before cameras? Does he really think anybody cares about what his "opinion" of the market is? All I know is that everytime he opens his big mouth, a trillion dollars get trimmed from the markets. (I don't have to tell you what would happen to this dude if he went to Harlem or South Central L.A., shot off his mouth, and the drug market tanked for a couple of weeks.)

If the guy got laryngitis for 6 weeks, the Dow would probably break 15000.

ALAN --- YOU BRING NOTHING TO THE PARTY, MAN! SO SHUT UP ALREADY!!! NOBODY WANTS TO HEAR YOU BLATHER ON AND PONTIFICATE ABOUT THAT WHICH YOU HAVEN'T THE FOGGIEST NOTION, I.E, THE FUTURE. GET OFF THE DOLE MAN, AND GET A REAL JOB LIKE INSTALLIN' CABLE OR FRYIN' UP WINGS!!!

There. I've said it. I feel much better now.

P.S. We need a computer virus that strikes TV cameras and microphones whenever he goes up to the Hill.

Don't be lulled into thinking everything has changed in the world. Like your net comment. Initially it is very profitable. That is for the guys that own the insider shares. As it matures, it is going to increase competition and reduce margins which makes it hard for companies that sell products that are basic commodities. Just ask Intc on that one. Remember there is two net worlds out there. 1) Is the true net and how companies are using it to conduct business between each other and reduce cost and 2) The stock game, where billions are being made buy wealthy individuals creating net companies and selling them to a blind public that buys anything with a dot.com. Now don't get me wrong, I am a net believer. I was in the first net stock so I believe in the net. Not what is going on from an investment standpoint but structurally.
As far as rates go, don't underestimate the power of interest rates. If the world economy kicks up, especially in Japan, it will cause basic commodity prices to increase and being we are a debtor nation, this can increase the cost of capital. That is basic eco 101. Funds move from the market to fixed income. Plus, not everyone is looking for 100% return in the market. Most financial institution models are to support a structure of funding their financial instruments so when rates go up money flows into the fixed arena.
Now, I am not predicting a bear market and saying it is going to happen, I don't know the future and neither do you but being Mr. Happy and have no skepticism is being blind to the changes around you and as an investor. So when it happens, you and everyone else will sit and do nothing thinking it is all temporary. And in a time line of things, it might be but it could get ugly. Stocks that jump 100% in a month can go down huge if a correction last more than 2 days.

Good Luck and Have a Plan
