Barry, just one more thing, and I could be wrong here...

But the more I read your posts and those of a few others of your "BHP is doomed" ilk, the more I get the distinct impression you are trying NOT so much to convince others of you position...but yourself.

If you read through BHP's reports, you will understand this company is in for the long haul.

It plans for deep into the future, is totally obvlivious to share price fluctuations, and short-term demand/supply fundamentals.

It produced a record profit for so many years in a row, because back when commodities were 2c a pound, it was investing heavily for future demand.

You also fail to understand the concept that prices have bottoms.

A market is not a dive into a bottomless well....And I venture that the deeper you fall, the more likely your fall will be broken.

The more the Dow goes down, the more you think it will fall.

Ditto with commodities. Copper at 80cents, you say?

Now I understand you have been burned with some company, losing 60% of your money.

Does that tell you anything about your judgement, investment style?

Once bitten, forever shy, is that it?

Come on, loosen up.

The dow has fallen 10% in 2 nights.

Surely that indicates something to you, does it not?
