By the way, check out "Extraordinary Popular Delusions & the Madness of Crowds" by Mackay. Tulip Mania, Mississippi Bubble and more. Written almost 150 years ago but still applicable today. (Onsale at Borders Outlet for $3.98, ironic isn't it?)
I went to Borders today, but the only edition of the book they had was selling for $14, so I passed. It looked as though it should have been discounted to $3.98; the copy was several years old, and the paper was yellowing from age.
I don't really know if I need to read the book, anyway. If I want to learn about tulips, all I need to do is study Amazon, Yahoo, K-Tel, Lamar Advertising, Bally's Fitness, Zonagen, etc. |
