Gentlemen, I read your daily comments...well, daily. Your perspective is generally at odds with the pundits and talking heads on television and I like that because those folks have been wrong for the past 18 months. Keep telling it the way it is rather than the way the Wall St. kids want everyone to believe it is. As you point out, the spin put on economic and market data is laughable. However, it does serve the purpose of sucking the small investor ever deeper into the inevitable morass to come. It is a pity that more small investors do not read your daily comments. At the very least, you provide a rational alternative to the pablum spewing out of the television every day. Thanks,
