Oh, and my understanding of the free market doesn't come from some textbook. It comes from seeing it at work for many years, and understanding that in the long run it IS your friend. I've made some bad deals (don't ask about the house I bought in 1986) and some good ones (DO ask about the stock I bought last year -- YIPPEEE!!! My profits on a $6000 investment would PAY for the house). Like you said, you bought your Holton a year ago for much, and now you could sell it for VERY much. This is called a profit, and it's good (heck, even the textbooks will tell you that!)
