Lucko,

I love that little quote. I have never heard it before, but I have lived it.

In the 90's I was such a little smart aleck. I was dancing with that bubble. And I was having the best time. I would come in the door from work, flip Bloomberg on, watch that ticker, and smile, smile, smile.

Remember in The Graduate when that guy says to Dustin Hoffman, one word, "Plastics."

Well, in my bubble-dancing days, I used to remind Mr. Boomer of that "Plastics" line from the movie, and then I would say one word, 'Tech." (I was such a little smart aleck in those days.)

But fortunately I am not quite as insane as I can sometimes appear to be. And Mr. Boomer still likes me. I never put everything in tech. I did and still do so love some of those dividend belching behemoths. But for now. . .I sure don't know. I don't know about any of it. But at least I know that I do not know.

---luv that little quote.

Thanks.

Boomer Buffet
