I just wanted to thank you for creating this blog. I saw your post on the Matrix blog about the bubble bloggers, and found it refreshing. It's good to know not every blogger on this subject is a Cassandra.

Jeff-

Thanks for your comments. Yes, the bubble bloggers are a malcontent bunch. It's always darkets before the dawn is all I can say. The market peaked in Aug '05 so were close to two years in this thing. We are what we believe so if we breed fear it consume us, if we breed optimisim it will help us all.
