>But why is there no major media outlet that is calling into question the >extremely high market values of companies like Red Hat? Who wants to kill the goose that killed the golden egg? Get with the program- do you think Forrester Research would ever issue a bad report on any company that pays $20,000 for their annual technology report? (outright bribe, without question, and i'll say it in public) Why do you think Maria Bartiromo pimps for the technology stocks like she's about to have an orgasm every day? Do you know the person to whom she was married 2 months ago?

Hi Eric Wells; Great story, re RHAT. The sad fact is that when the stuff finally hits the fan, and is distributed as fine particles of liquified bacteria all over the faces of the people staring raptly into their computer screens, the people that will be blamed will be the 1 or 2% who sold short. Even though the number of shares sold short will be quite small, these are the people who will be blamed. Who profits. This is human nature. And the end result will be that they will put more restrictions on selling short than the ones they added after the last big market debacle a couple generations ago. -- Carl
