JW....I guess I am too dense to fully understand exactly what /how has happened to our beloved NAZ...It does indeed look to be a concerted effort, but why would "they" attack the margin players? I have made some enormous gains over the past through margin. This was my choice. I likened it to any business/corporation doing business with borrowed funds which occurs all the time. I am sure I am not alone, but this witchhunt has really crippled me...not only paper losses,but real ones from having to liquidate some artifically tanked stocks to pay the piper. I just dont understand how financially hurting a lot of people in the market fits into the scheme of things. Maybe Greenweasle was jealous of our quick gains...I don't know. As it has been pointed out ..nothing fundamentally on the real stocks/companies has changed. The Mickey Mouse .coms needed to be weeded out. But why does CISCO,DELL.QCOM,JDSU,CMGI,etc all have to be punished?I think a lot of folks retirement has gone up in smoke over this. All I know is it sucks!!! Just one man's opinion......joe
