Marek, from way back BEFORE the housing bubble, after the Y2k bubble. Blaming Alan Green$pan is ridiculous. This was 2002: < IT WASN'T MY FAULT!! Uncle Al, KBE, made me do it. It was Alan Green$pan who made the biggest stockmarket bubble in history. I caught the real Y2K bugs, "Irrational Exuberantosis" and "Infectious Greeditis" sometime in the 1990s. I was so busy worrying about 99 turning to 00 and the Y2K bug, and celebrating the new millennium [okay, it was the wrong New Years eve, but it was only a year out] that I missed the real problem, which was a hole in my head where the thinking part should be. Having a hole in my head made it tough to recognize the hole in my head, because I couldn't see the hole, because the part needed to do the seeing was missing from my head, right where the hole was. So I just believed Uncle Al that I should go berserk and pay extorquerationate prices for some wild blue yonder company Biotelecosmictechdot.com which I saw in a chat room was going to da sky. Well, I didn't actually know he said that and can't actually quote his words which made me buy, but I hear now that he definitely did say them, so it's definitely not my fault. Heck, look at Enron and Global Crossing and Worldcom and Globalstar and and and .... Conjobs all and based on hyperprinted overinflated monetary mania which puffed me up like a balloon until I popped. Groan, moan... oh, what a hangover... where do I sign up for the 10 step plan to avoid shares forever more? Yours truly, Zomby --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Message 17873976 Whine, whine, whine they go. Koreans used to whine like a fleet of 747s about QUALCOMM royalties but we don't hear that now because they are giggling on their way to the bank with CDMA profits and it's tough to giggle and whine simultaneously. Now, we have Americans whining loud enough to keep the whole airline industry in the sky. Mindless Zombies sure can kick up a racket. Feel free to whine here about how your Mindless Zombie brain was paralyzed, had a hole in it or something and it's all Uncle Al's fault, and that's why you lost your money. You have not heard of free will. You didn't have a clue what you were doing. You didn't know you could short Bubblonia. You couldn't just hold cash [although Microsoft and a lot of others who are notably intelligent didn't seem to have a problem with it]. Mqurice > PS Countries are different from individuals. When countries go bust due to borrowing too much, they just invent a new currency or remove 3 zeroes from the old one.
