In my opinion, Wall Street is already hard-at-work, planning its next round of scams to perpetrate on the true hard-working Americans. My guess is that it will be tied to a string of IPOs regarding several new and important technologies. . . I.E. Vivato or Cometa Networks for Wi-Fi. . . . or some promising new medical technology. . . maybe a spin-off of the human genome or stem cell hype. . . not yet "discovered". . . .or should I say, "invented". (Remember I am still of the camp that believes that top investment bankers conjure up companies to ride the crest of technology waves. . . then hype their IPOs for maximum impact to fill the manufactured demand for stock. Legal pump and dump, if you will. If the company survives or fails is of no concern to them.) The Wall Street Investment Banker's Marketing Strategy: Figure out what incredible stories that individual investors will accept, then create a company and offer their stock, (at "first day IPO" prices), which fits that story and fills the new demand. If I sound cynical about the way the markets run, nothing is new. Perhaps the most consistent method for calculating the coming market waves, is to extrapolate the schemes of the greedy. "Figure out how the Fat Cats on Wall Street could most benefit." Rande Is
