In fact, the philosophy behind this article can be applied to a number of articles that have been written on strat. in - Why Twitter / Apple / Facebook/ Google? What of BJP, Indian Football, green shoots, incredible Indians? How Grooveshark / Ramayana / Kargil / Udham Singh / Currency futures? Though I might not agree with some of the views that you have expressed - this kept me hooked on till the very end, in fact, I read it thrice. Considering that I read 200-300 blogs in 5-6 hours a day, this is amazing.

"In the face of unknown variables, aren’t all such judgment calls matters of faith and experience and hope?" - Everything in life is a matter that boils down to one of these three things - hope when you start off, experience when you have been there, done that, faith when you are about to come to the end of your journey. And the cycle continues For those who liked this article, I recommend a book called "The Tao of Physics" by Frank Capra.
