I admire your optimism, smartone. Wish I could feel more confidence in the outcome myself, but I figure, prepare for the worst and hope for the best, and if nothing horrible happens what have I lost except a little money, whereas if the worst does happen, my choice of investments should protect me from a total wipeout. At least that is the plan, though as we all know "the best laid plans of mice and men often go awry", LOL. . .
