If these people feel that bad about what's happened to them, they need your support, not your derision, regardless of your opinion of the market. It's called schadenfreude, feeling joy or laughing at someone else's pain, e.g., laughing at someone who slips on a banana peel and takes a pratfall. One of the less pleasant human emotions, perhaps, but so common that television series and movies that capitalize on it are extremely popular, e.g. the Three Stooges, I Love Lucy, and Seinfeld, to name but three. I'll wager that if I were to look at your prior posts, I could even find an example where you did the same, and I've certainly seen a lot of it coming from your fellow Porchers. Naturally if it were someone we knew, we would not laugh, but these are mere pixels. And voila: Message 14386500 And saying nasty things about our thread, to boot: Message 14414014
