Yep, Amazon has a market cap of 23 billion and is worthless.
BKS has a market cap of 2.45 billion and is even more worthless.
The whole internet is nothing but a quick way to lose billions.
It's all a game of musical chairs to stick it to the last guy.
And nobody reads anymore anyway. We're all on the net trading worthless stocks and hyping them continuously so we can get rich and someday get our own IPO. Or lose everything if we don't sell fast enough. And what are these computers anyway? Does anyone really know how and why they work? And what's this with software? It's free, right? They send me discs in the mail.

So what DOES make money? Maybe everyone's just losing it, some slower than others. Maybe we should just short the entire world economy and hope that people all of a sudden catch on and realize their stocks, currencies, so-called precious metals, real estate, entertainment, sports victories, art, antiques, collectors item junk, fashion and all other non-essential goods are basically worthless.
But if we shorted and won all we'd get would be more worthless money.

Maybe we should just leave the cities, buy lots of guns and ammo, find a secluded place to grow vegetables and be done with it.
The world's coming to an end afterall, isn't it?

GGG - get your point - it's not perfect, but what is?
