William <worst> yes. The kind that periodically sucks you into putting money in in the hopes that the worst is over for net stocks -- only to have them reverse soon after and go much lower -- repeating this pattern until the damage is severe to high risk takers.

lol, that reminds me of that day in 1998 when the market seemed to be melting down. Someone sent me a massive e-mail which took forever to download. While I was waiting, I noticed that the financials (which I was massively short, having worked my way up the food chain from subprime lenders to MER and GE) were suddenly falling slower; MER actually went green for a bit. I scrambled to cover, even though up until then I was certain I could see 1929 in the charts. A few days later, AG announced the intraday rate cut, and the market, which had already recovered considerably, exploded upward. The e-mail which took so long to download? Someone had sent me a clip of a grizzly bear mauling that computer animated dancing baby they used on Ally McBeal...I think that's the clearest sign of a bottom I've ever received...
