The Bubble 2 Chronicles Overheard on the downtown bus from UC Santa Barbara today. Verbatim. A very thin, very pale girl aged around 20 sits down to my right and gets out her cell phone. "Did you see the stock Market?" "Pentium went up 70%" "Pentium. I made $50,000 yesterday." "I'm not kidding. $50,000." "It's OK, it's borrowed money, from credit cards" "I need 10,000 more. I'm going to get a loan from Wells Fargo." I didn't say anything as that would be a thankless task. Now I've just checked and there is no such company called Pentium, so I presume she meant Intel (?!!) and she was trading options.
