Yes, the markets are definately making some people !!?? lol We know that bad markets can make people act in strange ways. But this story may take the cake, or corpse, as it were. Italy's ANSA news agency reports that a man who has reportedly lost plenty of lira on the Milan stock market wrote a letter admitting to stealing the body of legendary Italian banker Enrico Cuccia from a small cemetery near Lake Maggiore. The corpse thief wrote that he will only return Cuccia's body to his family if the "Mib30" -- an index of Italian blue chips -- recovers to levels not seen since early last year. "You will think I am mad, but I'm not," the man wrote. "I'm just exasperated." With U.S. blue chips currently resting six feet under, we certainly feel the thief's pain, though we contend there are more constructive uses for shovels. John Kimelman Editor, Money Mail
