BUBBLE TIMES ARE HERE AGAIN If these stocks' performances today don't signal a market mania, bubble, and more of the same scamming of the American Sheeple, then everyone must be blind. If anyone would pay attention to things like this: There are shows like, VH1's "Fabulous Life of: (insert famous person's name here)," this show is the revamped version of daytime classic, "The Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous." Funny enough, it's also hosted by Robin Leach. The VH1 Web site describes the show as: "A fast-paced, first class joy ride of lavish living, as we check out the fortune building careers and businesses of the extremely rich and famous and the incredible indulgences that come with it. From their lifestyles filled with non-stop VIP treatment, endless entourage and $1,000 dollar face creams, to fleets of cars, massive estates and multi-million dollar wardrobes. A lighthearted blend of "Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous" and the Forbes 400 list, each episode focuses on one particular person or subject. Weaving expert interviews, investigating field segments and voyeuristic footage, the series gives an extraordinary glimpse into what we call, 'The Fabulous Life.'" they would realize the excesses of the corporate insiders and the celebrity crowd is being maintained on the backs and money of the general population -- the sheeple. Does Bill Gates really need a 66,000 sq. foot home? The sheeple continue to send all their money to the mutual fund industry who continue to line the pockets of the insiders who keep "manufacturing" worthless stock paper for themselves. This is about all America manufactures -- stock options printed on PAPER. Americans spend all their money on records, movies, sports -- where the vast majority of the recipients have high school diplomas at best. The rest of their money they give to corporate insiders for PAPER stock that was GIVEN as options to the insiders. This process is what makes for the great divide between the real world for most Americans and the fantasy world of the celebrities and corporate insiders. IT IS SHAMEFUL, and I believe America will fall eventually due in part to this behavior. Look at these stocks today and tell me greed, bubbles, mania, and complete disregard for common sense is not evident. "Pitiful" is not a strong enough word. finance.yahoo.com
