Justa, I think it just shows the depth of bearish sentiment for anything .com that many turned against justabid.com. I have even heard that an angry mob torched the computers over at heyidiot.com.
By the way I reluctantly sold my Ultrabear hedge position today taking a small profit, as while the interest rate outlook is guarded the market and the long bond has discounted a lot and I don't want to get caught on the wrong side if Bob's eventual rally to new highs gets started any time soon. After selling ASYT and my Ultrabear I have plenty of cash on the side so I will only get pounded but not squashed if this turns into a substantial sell off short of a bear market.
By the way as to discussions as to child labor etc. I just prefer getting my blood pressure up and my face flushed elsewhere on such issues and just have that reaction here when I'm getting blasted in the market but I agree both the possible need for some action and the concern about intervention causing unintended negative consequences were well stated by all.
