This site is slowly but surely being torn down. I have been a lurker here since the beginning and what I read here has helped me a great deal in understanding this mania. In the last few days, however, it seems to me that people like D. Smith and BGR have been able to mute the regular posters here. This saddens me both because this site was the main reason I desided to join SI (although I was a member since 1996, I was inactive till 1999 so I had to pay up) and because despite all the frustration and financial loss the bears here have been through, people like LT and HB and Mohan and MM and IS and ID still hang there adhering to their beliefs. Other people in SI like GZ and HR and WH and even BB can make valid arguments. They tend to understand the lunacy in today's market, yet use it to their advantage through market timing and sector allocation. In reality they are just trend followers and I respect them for being able to make some money out of the mania. But to see real die hard bears like you guys abandon this thread after all the shit you've been through can make me emotional (granted after a few JD's and tequila shots). The truth is -as you very well know- that SI despite all the shortcomings of people like Jeff, is still the best place for intelligent people to come together and share their views. Come back!
