You know, Glenn, you could post news to a Clown Info thread that we could start. We will name it the "Luc Bubble Gum Clown Suit Thread - Will It ever Wear Out?" You nearly count for half the posts on amzn in the old days, as I recall, which would really knock us out here. We have 100s per day. We need to cut down, methinks.

<<I have found everyone here quite polite so far. >> We are misunderstood bunch on SI. We are the most advanced beings on SI. -g- The posters here are very literate, highly educated and well rounded in their own fields. Most of us have a good knowledge and understanding of global financial system, credit excesses, the role of money, central bankers, how wealth is transfered from huts to Houses. We are very cynical about the spin from Wall Street, politicians, bubblevision, irresponsible financial media and the like. We have thick skins to disguise our soft buttery hearts. Our language is rough but we care a lot. To give you a taste of it... We don't give a rats ass if someone lost money on his/her foolishness. We get very rough with them if they try to pass the buck - the mantle of blame. A bunch of us lost a lot of moolah in puts. While we blame no one but ourselves for the losses, we are very critical about one body - the Federal Reserve Board for fostering a mammooth moral hazard. We think that they made a complete mokery of the free markets by repeatedly bailing out irresponsible lenders. Of course, occasionally, we do get carried away. And 4 letter words are so easily mixed in our notes some may find it repulsive. But, unlike 2 years ago, I don't get disturbed by those 4 letter words much! No sh*t! -g- BTW, this is a real secular society. We have no favorites. We bash each other more than we bash others. As many think we are not SHORTS, much less evil SHORTS. If being short on hype gets us the name evil SHORTS, yes, we are evil SHORTS! A good majority of us go long stocks as contrarians.
