Hi Edamo Fear is indeed a stronger emotion than greed. Fear will make otherwise rational folk do things like selling me their SDL at 234 in premkt.

<who are "they"???? where does one find these "houses" > ed....perhaps the choirboys in white on Wall Street shouldn't be called "they". Perhaps the pols (regardless of party affiliation) who espouse the same party litany down to the last state representative) shouldn't be called "they". Perhaps the medical community who, one day, say butter is bad and the next day replace "bad butter" with "bad margarine" shouldn't be called "they". Perhaps, just maybe, "They" should be called "purveyors of fear", or "purveyors of uncertainty", or "purveyors of doubt". It seems that "They" lurk beneath the fabric of every special interest group in this country and at any given moment, "They" seem to have that uncanny ability to turn many voices into one, in order to manipulate. IMO "THEY" are the institutional investors who are trying to brainwash (en masse) the retail investor, using the leverage of their collective power to extract their pound of flesh in a not too transparent manner by stirring that pot of FUD.
