who are all these flamers and why can't you go away... Did anyone say they were publishing a newsletter here and charging anyone for it...there are a zillion threads, find one you are happy with... they always say in the markets 'you can't tell till you bet' if you got dough, have done the research, and got da' guts, then BET... you can even start your own thread here, no law against it... I think MB's track record is pretty darn good, he is informative and funny...no law says I gotta listen to him, or can't do what I choose... You all are like PEOPLE that way, with freedom of choice... pls use it, PROPERLY... Howard

BGR, Once again, buying puts is speculative, like buying Dell. Buying puts in a 90/10 is not speculative. You will get it some day. 1. It is one false part of the story. A clever lie to cover speculative excess. 2. The demographics were also true in Japan. And mean nothing when the market cracks. 3. I am quoting the book "The Trouble With Computers" by Tom Landauer. And, of course, several more recent articles that show how technology to make technology distorts the real productivity of the economy. Read and learn. <g>
