Indeed, 'BWAC.' -g- We got a whole bunch of influential media types here reporting 'smiley smiley,' 'things will get better' nonsense without knowing 'squat.' It's pretty darned scary, if you ask me. Chicken - egg - don't tell them what's really going on -- keep 'em in the dark .... You know, same old same ole.

By god, they drug out and propped up Peter Lynch himself for the 'occasion' ... to 'respond to viewer's fears,' etc. Phone calls and emails. First response: buy real estate. Second question from the 'audience' -- response: 'Buy for the long term.' ROFLMAO. When will Aunt Abby reappear to note that she was horribly wrong, and to admit her own Goldman Sachs stock transactions of teh past year? Insider trades -- sales -- of her own Goldman Sachs shares as an employee. Wonder if CNBC will ever get into that level of 'financial markets reporting?" Gotta get the BIG GUYS out now ... the CEOs of Fidelity, etc ... to REINFORCE THAT GODDAMNED MESSAGE: "We are going to make money off of retail investors." As will CNBC.
