borrowed.. Re: I've taken a hit on Wall Street just like every body else, Count me out of your "everybody". I've been in cash since April, 2000 because the market smelled so very wrong. I haven't taken a hit since my last day to be long, dropping $30K in one day was enough to wise me up and take my chips off the table. You can also count the following out of your "everybody": Player Scam Appoximate Winnings Lou Pai - ENE $300 MM Ken Lay - ENE 200 MM Jeff Skilling ENE 150 MM Andy Fastow ENE 30 MM Other execs ENE 500 MM Dennis Kozlowski TYC 300 MM Gary Winnick GX 775 MM John Legere GX 20 MM Martha Stewart ?? 150 MM Jim Crowe LVLT 150 MM Kevin Kalkoven JDSU 100 MM Josef Straus JDSU 150 MM Other CEOs who's stock has lost at least 50% of value from peak 2,000 MM __________ TOTAL WEALTH TRANSFER 4,825 MM Which, not coincidentally is just about equal to the losses in the stock market from peak valuation in March, 2000 to today. Basically, the American corporate plutocracy is working in exactly the opposite fashion to Robin Hood. This "free market" is transferring the wealth of the middle class to the richest 1/2 of 1% of now seemingly completely unworthy schemers, con artists and criminals. Don't you feel lucky to live in such a great land? Le Faineant Qui Voit
