Great insight and great post. Personally, as a former trader, I can't help but look at the short term picture most of the time; as I am sure can be said for anyone who has capital invested. You brought up some great points and when I step back, I can certainly agree on the bigger picture looking better.
ps ..I was right unlike other people who try to predict stuff....keep your trust in me and you'll go far.......From 1/25/07 "News next week? you can bet the farm on it....".....your welcome.
