explains it all ... <g>

I guess I shouldn't laugh. We are on the same side of things.

I don't want to be close to a depression, but what do I have to do with the clowns in charge ...

...hedge fund that bet against Internet stocks

That was a very scary thing to do. Just to illustrate what I mean, I will describe the valuation of a hypothetical internet stock called "Tokyo Mex, Inc." (see links below).

If "Tokyo Mex, Inc." [NASDAQ:TMEX] had an IPO and was given a multiple similar to YHOO (P/E = 1734.38), it would have a market cap of about 15.6 Billion USD based on the 9 Million dollars of profit. Can anyone just imagine the terrific balance sheet and free cash flow of TMEX, which I believe would best most of today's internet companies. The Market Cap/employee would be a staggering 15.6 Billion USD. Given that TMEX has only 3,800 customers, and there are potentially over a 100 Million internet users/stock traders, the future growth rate of TMEX could just be totally immense! Who could possibly say how high TMEX could go (even without considering the small float and frequent short squeezes)?

You sure that guy's name wasn't Manger? -g-

Now, could someone please tell me how a kid who is 25 at the time, goes and sets up a 500mm hedge fund then proceeds to inflate fund assets by 97% of reported and fool Deloitte & Touche for 3 years along with a unit of Ernst & Young?
