Agreed ... and for the record to the person who said "anyone in margin deserves to be slaughtered" ... rather harsh and unkind. Many people are fairly young and new to the market and due to a lot of excitement, hyping and general enthusiasm on threads such as this, those limited in capital bought on margin to make some money. Regrettably, the markets started going down and much like gambling, when someone loses they bet more to get back their initial funds. I am sorry to see anyone get "slaughtered" because they allowed themselves to get caught up on margin. I am thankful that I am not on margin, but do know several people who cannot afford the loss and are getting killed. This also explains the reason we seem to be missing a few regulars.

Young and naive woman, when you learn that NOBODY is above the market, you will finally learn how to speculate. The "parties" you say are so interested in "keeping it up," are as big as mosquito shit when it comes to the MARKET...They can't do Jack sh!t. I made a lot of people money on the upside, now get the freaking picture on the downside. The MARKET is second ONLY TO GOD.

Investlady had this to say to westpacific and myself about our pre-warning of what was about to happen. I am not bring this up to gloat but only to show that what we were saying had some basis. Message #95098 from InvestLady at Apr 11 2000 2:53PM I am not trying to be little Miss Pollyanna(?) here but you guys with your doomsday scenario are sounding a bit much to me. Perhaps it is true or maybe it is just the typical human tendency to expect the worst and accept misery....I think there are too many things going on behind the scenes that would keep this market from going past the lows of last week..too many funds in deep and it is an election year...maybe in a year or two but this doom and gloom is going to scare weaker hands into making hasty decisions, that they will regret. You sound like bashers on a Yahoo board. Or perhaps, you are sitting there with a pile of cash waiting to jump in at a new low....It is almost as bad as someone saying we will be at 6000 next week. Let's not get to dramatic...and they said women are the ones prone to drama...well you could be women for all I know. (Y2K comes to mind also, weren't we all suppose to blow up?) Oh and who in this market is going to give anyone a gift??? I have said before this has been manipulated starting fr 4 wks ago, but to let it get totally out of hand will not benefit any of the parties, new or old. I just can't see it happening but just my opinion and I will concede defeat if I need to, for our sakes, hope I don't have to :)
