>>>>>Man, if you can't laugh while your portfolio is being vaporized, then when can you??<<<<<

Well, let's see:

1) Watching Jim Carry movies.

2) Watching Marx Brothers re-runs on TV.

3) Reading P. J. O'Rourke.

4) Watching my cats chase each other around the house.

5) Swapping jokes with my friends.

Hmmm. The list goes on and on, but "while my portfolio is being vaporized" doesn't seem to be anywhere on the list.<g>

But I did laugh at your post. Thanks.
