Dennis:

I have made it a point to befriend several credit managers at different brokerage firms. Why?,.... because these are the folks who REALLY know what is going on.

For well over a year now, these guys and gals have been frightened,.... and trying to tighten the screws on excessive margin useage. Most see the current situation as the worst that they have ever witnessed.

best, Earlie

As you're surely well aware, the real purpose of posting any such link is to incite nods of approval from the in-crowd here.

If you had pulled your head out of your ass long enough to read the full exchange between Don and me, you would have known that I was trying to continue Don's old tradition of posting humorous news alert titles. What is your purpose of posting here?
