By the time guys on our level hear about it, the "value" of having the
information is gone and it's generally too late to take effective
action.

There is some truth to that of course but it is a defeatist attitude.
Even if you can't know exactly what the smart money is thinking, there
are ways to know what they are doing. There are also ways to predict
the long term impact of various policy decisions and other
governmental actions. Look for the trends and figure out where they
lead. Follow the money.

I really think acorns are a good investment. The money is going 'green',
and my acorns are the way to go. These acorns will all be from oaks at
least six feet in circumference, guaranteed to be a tremendous carbon
offset.

$19.95 a dozen.

If I could have sold acorns for that at our old house in the north
east, I'd be a kazillionaire.

Well, I'm keeping my fingers crossed. Maybe if temperatures go up just a
little more, people will begin to see the light. I'm surprised that some of
our GW fans right here haven't bought a bunch.

Here's what I want to know.

Where did the exotic worm guy go - I want to get rid of those ugly
freakin' trees. :)

Hmmmm - could I get carbon credits for that? :)
