Only on the weekend, to the tune of the Edmund Fitzgerald by Gordon Lightfoot. The legend lives on from the Clown threads on down Of the Head Fake they call New Economee The market it is said never gives up her dead When the skies of Novenber turn gloomy With a load of tech stocks overvalued by more Than their growth could sustain them That good ship and true was a bone to be chewed When the gales of November came early The ship was the pride of the American side Coming back from 9 years of expansion As the bull runs go it was bigger than most With a crew and good captain disillusioned Concluding some terms with a couple of tech firms When they left fully loaded for Nasdaq 5000 And later that night when the ship's bell rang Could it be the north wind they'd been feelin' The wind in the wires made a tattletale sound And a wave broke over the railing And every man knew as Greenspan did too 'Twas the witch of November come stealin' The dawn came late and the breakfast had to wait When the gales of November came slashin' When afternoon came it was frzzlebun' pain In the face of a bubble deflatin' When sqwawk box came the old Analyst came on deck Sayin' "Fellas it's too rough to pump ya" At nine a.m. a main resistance caved in He said "Fellas it's been good to screw ya" The captain wired in he had margins comin' in And the good ship and Janus were in peril And later that day when it's chart went out of sight Came the BK that Fleck been "fortellin" Does anyone know where the small investor goes When the red charts turn the millions to thousands Heinz had to say they'd made it OK, If only they'd printed more money. They might have split up or they might have capsized They may have broke wind and took prozac And all that remains are the empty accounts lost wealth and Gore more years JT

HO HO HO! Kaplan's been hitting the Glue Bong again, I see!! Although I DID like the quote from Volker: Former Federal Reserve Chairman Paul Volcker said on Friday, May 21, 1999: "The fate of the world economy is now totally dependent on the growth of the U.S. economy, which is dependent on the stock market, whose growth is dependent on about 50 stocks, half of which have never reported any earnings." This one is right up there with "Monetizing Shareholder Ignorance"<GGG>
