You have just witnessed the tip of the iceberg folks...we're just getting warmed up. We get the last solar eclipse of the millenium in 2 weeks to be witnessed by the most people ever. We're sitting on the biggest speculative bubble in history and nobody seems concerned. Interest rates are rising in the face of a Y2K induced global recession which everyone has written off as a nonevent. We are in a period of historic slow money flow into the market. The dollar sucks. Global temperatures are going off. Oil broke $21 today with no fanfare. China is pissed off and looking to either devalue or take Taiwan. Russia is selling nukes to any dictator with enough cash. Aliens are confirmed by NBC. The Backstreet Boys rule. Daytrading is glamorous and easy money. There are freaks running around cutting heads off and blowing people away. The President just got nailed for $90K for being a dick. This country has lost its collective mind...just watch the news or look at your moniker! Maybe that guy had just been living in Buckhead too long. Wish I was short EGRP.

Thing is Mad, a true trader can make money in an up or down market. Nothing wrong with shorting or buying puts. It will be interesting if they make his trading history public. Perhaps he got burned by shorting the nets too early as I did myself. I really believe that everything I've heard about this guy makes him out to be a nut. He's done this before in all likelihood and he was bound to do it again. This recent rock in the market may have just given him an excuse. Dave
