revolution ... my eye!

Infatuation, sign of the times -- what real power is implied by ownership of stock these days? A whole lot less than before this mania -- that's what.

Opportunity to gamble and make money (apparently) from little effort? Yes ...

transforming? revolutionary?
B*llsh*t!!

And no, I am not like everyone else out there. It's not elitist thinking. I just haven't been brainwashed (as a while bunch of folks have) into thinking that a whole nation can get something for nothing by just by printing money.

Would it have been nice to be long a bunch of this trash and to have cashed it in, say, on Fri? Sure -- but I wouldn't fool myself into thinking that I'd produced some wonderful good by investing in companies x,y, and z.

this market isn't about investing -- it is flipping paper to the next guy before something real happens or is understood.
