> it's us small time investors who went through a lot to get where we are at today. Oh! give me a break. What the hell did you do other than sitting at a keyboard and drinking wine? Don't tell me you set up pins before they automated bowling alleys? Ps What's a lot? And more specifically what's your interpretation of a small time investor? The only thing that tells me you might qualify is your too lazy to get pre-ipo shares, or you've got a bad broker who has no influence within his own company. Sell some stock. You'll enjoy the experience. Even though you don't need to post it.;-)

I have no problems with the wealth affect i think it's about time... Don't You? What the hell's wrong with the little guy coming up in this world, it's us small time investors who went through a lot to get where we are at today. Yeah, and the other thing they are so afraid of is what? Low unemployment and wage increases. Give me a f$kin break already. I kinda like having a job and let me assure you that the raises we've been getting absolutely suck, 2-4%. If you really walk on water they try to get you all pumped up and motivated with an extra 1 - 2% increase. Wow a couple grand a year! (I make a lot more than that on a good market day.) Just my ignorant opinion but who deserves more of a reward for this economic prosperity than the people doing the work. Yeah I guess without Greenspan we wouldn't have that wall of worry to climb and might get into a more painful blowoff rally, but cut us a little slack already. it's us small time investors who went through a lot to get where we are at today.* You got that right. I put in the 8+ hrs a day at work, two kids, (2 hrs of karate) and work another another 3-4 hrs. a night on stocks. I shouldn't complain, my stocks have been doing great (by my standards anyway) but it gets to me sometimes.

>How well i remember when most were screaming the internets was just a passing thing Mark, I can't remember the passing thing part, but I do remember and still feel that a lot of were overpriced. Now just since the beginning of this year the haircuts have started. Just look at America's dream team (Aol,Amzn, Yhoo)as an example. This tuesday I plan on selling as much stock as I can. If I have to bet on a U Al vs a Wall Street war... I'd rather pass, and watch from the sidelines. Besides, for me trying to be a good stock picker is too exhausting. And shorting is even harder. seattletimes.com
