Why characterize responsible caution and skepticism as fear? Is everything that's not happy talk equal to fear? Is it hard to see that a lot of people have gotten damaged because they put their faith in the fearless?

The guys who have been QED proved right on SI and elsewhere are the people who have spent the last several years saying "watch out, this is bullshit". They're not very civil people, but they were right. Some blind investors got lucky and sold at the top. More got burned and rode it down to lose everything. But the fact is things were out of whack and the bears were right.

All these guys in the audio clip are saying is: what was out of whack hasn't gotten back in whack yet. Why is that fear? Because they're not acknowleding that the innovative, customer-oriented miracle of Windows XP is going to save the economy?

I hear a realistic description of this market. According to them there isn't enough fear in the marketplace as a result the market is plagued by false rallies as many tech investors keep thinking that 80% down means it's cheap... just like a compulsive gambler keeps sticking coins in a machine thinking the payoff is just a pull away.
