<<Huh? Do you mean he made so much on liberate' that he retired, or that he was wiped out in a bad trade on it?>> Kis, I think the last person here that could get wiped out in a bad trade would be Mark F. But! you could be the first. HJ, I wish you would stop beating around the bush and tell it like it is;-)

>Why were you so stupid not to realize that this casino only deals out >winning hands to anyone that plays tech stocks long? HJ, I made the biggest mistake that anyone can make in today's market. I assumed that the public gave a shit about whether or not they were investing in a fraud. Then I realized that these "investors" also spend around 15 billion per year on state lotteries when only 1/2 of 1% of them ever see any return on their money, and I read a story of how www.stockgeneration.com pulls in around 50 million dollars a month, even though it comes out and directly tells people that it is a pyramid scheme and that the companies on its virtual stock exchange dont actually exist. Once I realized that the vast majority of investing americans were so fucking stupid that they would never care about little things like "no profits" or "rampant fraud" or "insider selling at a rate 10x total revenue or 10000x earnings".. Well, once I realized that, I also realized that capitalism is doomed within a few years, because it has never had full and instant participation (online trading) from so many stupid people so quickly. However, I could either go broke fighting them in the remaining twilight years of capitalism, or I could double my money every 7 days until the inevitable collapse occurs. I suppose the reason I didnt realize the amazing stupidity of the average investor is that deep down inside I didn't want to admit that I inhabited the same country with 250 million pokemon-loving, beanie baby collecting, brittney spears lusting chumps. But now that I finally accept that, the only possible course of action is to exploit them and take their money. You have no idea how much better I feel now! In fact, the only way I could possibly feel any better about transferring their wealth to me, would be if I was a partner at Kleiner Perkins! Because then it would be occuring at a rate a million times faster than I can do it on my own! There are only so many calls I can buy during market hours!!
