It's kind of like taking your whole value structure out and shooting it because your beliefs were based on something that doesn't exist. It's kind of like having the pillars of society suddenly caved in by some Samson like force. It's like having your suitcase stuck in the doorway while your having the sh*t kicked out of you by one of your best friends. It's great. It's a wonderful life. It's a wonderful tangled web that we weave. It's a wonderful life. A wonderful world. it's a wonderful time. an interesting society. an intersting group of clowns running the whole scheme. It's funny when they have to go out and attack people based on the projections and the insecurities of themselves. It's an interesting time. Are people going to walk away and say. Hey. no harm no foul. Is the smell really going to matter. Are people really going to forget about their olfactory memory bank. Do people really care. Any more. Are the brokers and nasdaq going to get what they ultimately deserve. Are people going to wake up and smell the coffee. Is the coffee burning in the bottom of the dry pot.

Funny you should mention that. Re INSP and SI and other properties...I wrote someone this today...

If people stop posting on SI, does it make the site less valuable?

Would INSP now get more or less money for SI if the SI community is gone?

Do the stockholders receive any money from the property or any properties sold?

Or does the money go to income for INSP, which is mostly owned by Jain and institutions?

Do the INSP stockholders care?

Do the institutions care?

Do the paid Lifetime Members of SI care?

Why does it feel like something has been stolen?

Does anyone care?

If the SEC is investigating Ellison's sales of ORCL, and when....will there be an investigation of Jain and the sales of stock of INSP before the merger?

True, if a company does not pay dividends (although a stock buy-back is a form of dividend), then why invest in that stock? My rationale is that if a genuinely good business (such as InfoSpace) has become severely undervalued, other overvalued companies will buy it using their over-valued scrips to generate synergy and market power. Creation of value from such synergy and perpetuation of market power is the essence of capitalism.
