I agree Hobbers that it is very difficult these days with such a divergence of views and everyone seems to have an opinion in these difficult financial times. I have as much difficulty as you in digesting the spectrum of views into some semblance of logic. I read the whole spectrum of views hoping to find kernals of truth and reality no matter the source but always coming back to the middle somewhere as the most likely outcome, it's always been this way and I suspect it's the one thing that may never change even if we do. I try to employ the KISS principle as often as possible and find it serves me well.
