-Wonko, take a nice long look at the current state of the stock market. It 
would be going DOWN. The real stock market runs on roughly 20 year cycles. 
That's a little too long for our purposes. All stocks would go Bankrupt in a 
few nweeks at this rate... I saw a headline recently hailing the DOW as it 
topped 8000. That's pretty sad, considering its 10000 level about a year 
ago...-
