A little Stock talk anyone...

Once upon a time there were these two companies and they really liked each other. One day they decided to get married. Now, one of the stocks had been going nuts (straight to the moon, Alice... type thing) and the other just languishing in self pitty and remorse.

Well, today they are both playing well in the sand box and seem to be reaching a parity... Is this just coincidence or part of the mating dance??? (CLRT & FTRK)

Opinions on whether they may live happily ever after on the NASDAQ? Or is this a Romeo and Juliet fatal attraction?

HAPPINESS

We convince ourselves that life will be better after we get married,
>have a baby, then another. Then we are frustrated that the kids aren't
>old enough and we'll be more content when they are. After that we're
>frustrated that we have teenagers to deal with. We will certainly be
>happy when they are out of that stage. We tell ourselves that our life
>will be complete when our spouse gets his or her act together, when we
>get a nicer car, are able to go on a nice vacation, when we retire.
>The truth is, there's no better time to be happy than right now. If not
>now, when? Your life will always be filled with challenges. It's best
>to admit this to yourself and decide to be happy anyway. One of my
>favorite quotes comes from Alfred D Souza. He said, "For a long time it
>had seemed to me that life was about to begin - real life. But there
>was always some obstacle in the way, something to be gotten through
>first, some unfinished business, time still to be served, a debt to be
>paid. Then life would begin. At last it dawned on me that these
>obstacles were my life."
>
>This perspective has helped me to see that there is no way to
>happiness. Happiness is the way. So, treasure every moment that you
>have. And treasure it more because you shared it with someone special,
>special enough to spend your time with...and remember that time waits
>for no one...
>
>So stop waiting until you finish school, until you go back to
>school, until you lose ten pounds, until you gain ten pounds, until you
>havekids, until your kids leave the house, until you start work, until
>you retire, until you get married, until you get divorced, until Friday
>night, until Sunday morning, until you get a new car or home, until your
>car or home is paid off, until spring, until summer, until fall, until
>winter, until you are off welfare, until the first or fifteenth, until
>your song comes on, until you've had a drink, until you've sobered up,
>until you die, to decide that there is no better time than right now to
>be happy. . .Happiness is a journey, not a destination.
