A funny song....

Pulled this from Michael D. Cummings post here on SI...

"Humble Pie."
Sing it to Don McLean's (or Madonna's) "American Pie."

A long, long week ago
I can still remember
how the market used to make me smile
What I'd do when I had the chance
Is get myself a cash advance
And add another tech stock to the pile.
But Alan Greenspan made me shiver
With every speech that he delivered
Bad news on the rate front
Still I'd take one more punt

I can't remember if I cried
When I heard about the CPI
I lost my fortune and my pride
The day the NASDAQ died

So bye-bye to my piece of the pie
Now I'm gettin' calls for margin
'Cause my cash account's dry
It's just two weeks
from a new all-time high
And now we're right back
where we were in July
We're right back where we were in July

Did you buy stocks you never heard of?
QCOM at 150 or above?
'Cos George Gilder told you so
Now do you believe in Home Depot?
Can Wal-Mart save your portfolio?
And can you teach me what's a P/E ratio?

Well, I know that you were leveraged too
So you can't just take a long-term view
Your broker shut you down
No more margin could be found
I never worried on the whole way up
Buying dot coms
from the back of a pickup truck
But Friday I ran out of luck

It was the day the NAAAASDAQ died

Somebody was kind enough to send me April's issue of "Active Trader". I went through the table of contents looking for an article penned by OJ. Nothing. So I flipped page after page until I saw a bunch of X's and O's...hadda be a P&F chart...and there was OJ. My heart fluttered. Great to be able to put a face to his posts. Gonna tape his picture to my back-up WEBTV (Gotta leave my lap-top screen available). Now I won't have to see Joe "always buy em" Battipaglia, Larry, "Gee I Love America" Kudlow and the sometimes screechy Maria. Thanks to whomever sent the magazine. (It was probably OJ.) Anyway, I'm off to read his golden words. (Lee)
