Rick,

Thank you.

It is encouraging to know that I'm not the only investor who wrestles with my own bias AND with the bias inherent to our media sources.

"...debated with calm and sane voices" Exactly -- this is what principled disagreement is all about. I respect the other side of the trade because their money is as good as mine.

As editor, Paul McCaffrey of the CFA Institute gets major props for this article. It really struck a chord.

Thanks Rick!

Rob
