It's like watching a river rise during a flood and saying, "someone must have really had to pee upstream". Maybe someone peed in the river, but this is completely swamped by more important stuff, like a huge rainstorm. I think it's utter nonsense to chart a stock's growth over a period of weeks in a bull market and say that the reason is due to something trivial like a chess tournament result. I can't state it too strongly. It's just craziness that has to have been started by people who don't have the first clue about stocks. bruce >This only strengthens my believe that we will NEVER see again deep blue >play.
