"I doubt very much that they [MM's] give a flying hoot what our state of mind is"
not true at all, but the truth is in its indirect power to induce selling

I had said "the Market Makers entire objective now is to confound, confuse, discourage, and foment doubt"

I should have said that MM objective is to push down the stock price... their typical methods are to confound, confuse, discourage, and foment doubt... they dont care one iota about our state of mind, except as it relates to our predisposition to hit the switch and give up, thus selling

they rely very very much on nurturing our doubts and discouragement

oh shut up, Jim

Spudman: It's good to be nervous, to question everything, to look over your shoulder, to doubt, to disbelieve. It's not that anyone here is letting go of his shares. But when I see a $100B market cap for YHOO with only $200M in sales, it gets one to ask "Holy Batman" - what is going on here. YHOO is now approximately $35B bigger than QCOM. Can you fathom that? I can't. There is a new paradigm in valuing everything and although we are all running with the bulls and making serious money, you gotta step back and say what the hell is going on. Would you fork over $100B in cash to buy $200M in sales? No one can - no one. The only ones who can would do it with inflated stock currencies. So caution is imperative although we are probably going a lot higher in the tech sector.
