Hey T, notice anything missing in that story?
No quotes from anyone who said they moved into cash, or at least shifted some funds into utils or energy or bonds?
No one shorted YHOO on the way down, no one bought puts, and no one shorted ANY dot-bombs on the way down?
No one?
This is the problem with the media. The author is obviously quite talented, the story is well-written, the author spoke with several "real" people and put a lot of effort into the piece.
But their are plenty of errors here. Not errors of commission, but errors of omission. Too many angles not covered.
Because of that, the story becomes distorted. It's a shame. That could have been a good piece.
But there's one other problem. Do any of us on this thread, any of us, need the S.F. Chronicle to tell us what happened last year?
I doubt it.

PB

re"our" story
Yes.
I'm still on and off suffering so understanad what the Yahoo guy said for sure.
One of the members of our group actually cashed in when our service said to (March 20 2000).
So there is at least one happy millionaire out there who kept his bubble market profits.
Why didn't the rest of us using the service cash in? Has to be greed! and very poor market sense!

Thanks for that T-man. This bear has wreaked havoc in many folks noggins. For me, much of the money is gone but I really feel I've learned a lot in the last 2 years that will benefit me in the long run. Everyone is so focused on the money.

Bring on the future, the past is dust.
