Brian, this is terrible logic. Since when does the opinions of "Trader Mike" make the whole market go "negative". "Self-fullfillment?" Are you kidding? All of us have "tribal" emotions. We think the whole population consists of Dolly Parton, Elian Gonzales, Joe Montana, and a few thousand others. It is inconceivable to =everyone= that the world is BILLIONS of people. We think in thousands, the world is billions. This is true because for thousands of generations, all people needed to relate to were a few dozen people. Only in the last 100 yrs has our view expanded. But our deep-seated emotions have not. Brian, Trader Mike might be right, he might be wrong, in the long run. But he sure as hell won't =cause= it, one way or another.

I don't think this message board has enough influence to make the markets collapse.
