Stalker, on top of it your ethical shortcomings and "ME" attitude, you seem to have some stereotypical biases too. You said: "now only from the "long term investors" that "do their own research and diligence" and drive sports cars down winding roads on the tv commercials as well as do Yoga and other self indulgent activities" *** Listen, no one is arguing that there was much hype and manipulation to the upside in the 90's but the past is past. We can only learn from it. Right now, manipulation and corruption here is already driving foreign investors away and helping to sink the dollar. That isn't good for the Markets or our economy, understand? Solving the crisis of confidence and restoring trust and fairer markets is important for everyone. As far as your attitude toward "long term" investors, in a word it "stinks". If the majority of the hard-working people in this country decided to quit their jobs and become daytraders, our whole economy would be screwed, wouldn't it? Stalker, you've got some ethical "holes" in your personality and too much "ME" attitude, IMHO, and the more you speak, the more they are exposed. There's a happy medium I wish you, and people like you, would seek out.
