Wayne, too true. Each time I see my father-in-law, he moans about his diminishing 401k. I've sent him many useful posts from this forum, but he doesn't really get it. I've cried wolf too long for him to hear, so even though it has been unraveling, he doesn't get that the events now are what I was harping about last year and before.

Wayne,

Are you saying our $12.5B loan to Mexico in 1995 was an overreaction?

No one is advocating letting the system crash and burn.

Wayne, if I am heavy into puts when it happens, I will be rooting big time for burn burn burn.

PS was 50% PUTs again, as of the close yesterday.
In fairness (although I lightened up my puts by 70% or better a couple days ago, I simply reloaded too fast yesterday) but by the close today I was quite fine.

BRING ON THE CRASH.
