You really think this about good vs evil??? As someone once said, A fool and his money are soon parted... PS... You'll thank the shorts for holding the price up on many of the stocks before they goto zero... ALL JMO

shorts are not bad guys---they believe in realistic valuations---not pie in the sky dreams. please get real. as a matter of fact---i do have some longs that were very cheap (p/e) and they haven't suffered at all.

J.C.....who the heck said that being long stocks with PE's in the hundreds was "white hat" behavior? There was ample warning for all of us who stayed long. The shorts have been shouting for 18 months now. They lost their guts last year, spilled bile all over their keyboards, and still shouted "over-valued"...Greenspan said it at 6500 or so....well it finally came back to roost, period. Markets return to the norm, always have, and always will. Take your losses, buy quality, and learn this valuable lesson which will ultimately make you a better trader.

What the %$#@%$ hell went wrong with this script? there is no script, much as there is no greater purpose to your or my existence on this planet. things just are and you WILL lose money if you play a game where it seems like the money is free for too long, unless you are aware of the charade and know when to stop playing. I hope many of you here have learned something from all this and didn't get hurt too bad...I learned the most from the mistakes that caused me the greatest monetary losses in the past. Anyway, I would always be prepared for the day where nobody wants many of your stocks for almost any price, because that's how this must end, IMO.

IMHO, overreliance on magical thinking is not a sound investment strategy...
