I like to think that most people now have thicker hides and take their information sources a bit more skeptically. If nothing else it's part of the education they have received for all of the "tuition" they have paid in the last couple of years.<br><br>best,<br>Paul Meloan I wonder how many ads we would have to buy before Business Week would re-run their infamous “Death Of Equities” cover, which managed to precede the great 25 year bull market which began in 1982 by only a couple of years? ;-) Seriously though, the reason the Sports Illustrated “cover jinx” is funny is because it's about sports, ie, nothing that important.
