1987 ... The crash, then, was an artificial creation -- the product of error and manipulation Aha... I get it... the point must be that we learned from our mistakes, and that from now on it will be "to da moon" happily ever after. I seem to recall that Luskin was the guy who was writing rather articulate articles about the need for selling discipline -- in 2002, not far from the bottom. Interesting to notice that the screwball Soros made a big contribution to the 1987 panic.

Lest I end up in litigation about this, that firm will remain nameless.>> <<it gave him an evil idea. ... It worked. ... In other words, he had inside information. All he had to do to make a fortune was use that information, betray his own clients' trust in his firm, and threaten the world financial system by causing the biggest stock market crash in history. >>> HUH?????!!!!!!!!!
