GST,

<people who had to have somebody dial the broker and tell them what to say -- I saw these people gathered around exchanging stories about 'how to get in', about giving up saving for a house and playing the market -- etc. >

Is that really happening to any great degree ? I have heard of people quitting their jobs and doing daytrading full time. And I have heard of people borrowing money to max their IRA and 401k mutual funds. But not really to buy internet stocks at retail. I thought the mania was mainly day traders.
