"Krell" is a buzzword


When I look at how the posts involving Krell deteriorate to the point of civil(actually not so civil) war, I have to say that "Krell" has become a buzzword. It seems as if you just have to mention the name, and the mobilization begins. Sooner or later the insults sink to the level that make the thread completely unrecognizable from the original question. I am more neutral than not on Krell(probably not many of us around). Used to dream about them in my bigger is better solid state days, but have since moved in other directions. Now I am a definite tubeophile, and don't even think about Krell. But, I don't say you cannot build a great system around their products. Just have to apply the right surrounding components. But don't you have to do that with many brands of amp? So, do you agree that Krell has become a buzzword, and why?

Carl, I've got to disagree with you on this one. Sky high valuations in the market (or used to be in NASDAQ,s case) show that a lot of investors have been overcome by greed and speculation. BTW, I don't mean to suggest that this includes you. IMO, investing in anything is a gamble of sorts as one is trying to predict future events. In the NASDAQ case people who got in late combined high risk for a chance at low percentage gains - a recipe for disaster. They lost even if they didn't buy on margin. Check out gold and silver investments for medium risk with high possible percentage gains (>5:1 upside). This is true as they are trading as historical low values. Long dated silver call options look especially attractive (>10:1 upside). I agree that a small company like Krell must be doing something right to have survived this long. This in spite of being based out of a high tax location like Connecticut.
hey redkiwi, as an owner of 3 alfas, yer a man i can really respect! :>)

My portfolio is mostly in the Nasdaq exchange right now, and it was still up until yesterday, and I espect it to go up at least 100% in the coming year. I disagree that the word "greed" describes the investor's motivation. Greed implies a selfish desire to take from others, and this is not the investment model.
you are to be commended. I have a singular '63 Giulia Spider carrying a blueprinted 2-liter in a most tastefully modified show car body. Rapid transit, indeed! E dolce!
I believe greed is more than just taking from others, it's taking more than that what you need. Like it or not, greed is one of the foundation of investing. The market drives on greed a.k.a day traders for it to growth. Don't you agree?
