Mucho, you have gone down in my estimation with that silly rant blaming Uncle Al for the speculative mania of the 1990s. washingtonpost.com

Here's why: Message 17864168

How come the collective investment IQ was near 200 and now, having lost their shirts, the mindless Zombies are claiming that they didn't have a brain, but were automatons in thrall to Uncle Al?

Uncle Al, contrary to now popular delusion, did not actually encourage them in their wild mania. By parsing his words carefully, people contrive to find encouragement for their speculative and ignorant mania. But it's pretty thin gruel; not enough to feed an ass, let alone a woolly mammoth stockmarket.

We need a new SI posting place "Mindless Zombies of the World Unite - I hereby blame Uncle Al for my purchase of Biotelecosmictech.com at the peak. I was not in control of my head and did not have a clue what I was doing because I am a mindless idiot who had to obey some obscure reference to irrational exuberance which I did not read, couldn't find, wouldn't understand if I did read it and mistook for being a green light to buy even though I didn't know it existed".

I won't bother pointing out the various stupidities of that latest diatribe against Uncle Al, KBE. It's just more journalistic diarrhoea.

Et tu Mucho? Would you like me to start such a thread for you to post to and admit you too were taken in; where you could add your mea culpa to the list of mindless Zombies?
