When Fleck says that the market will end very badly, exactly what does he mean, "end"? That all stocks will go to zero and securities trading will be halted entirely? He really should temper his language since I don't believe that the market will "end" anytime soon, barring World War III, a large asteroid, the Second Coming, etc. Perhaps he means that it will continue to go lower, until, perhaps, it stops going lower. His statement is one of the predictions I've ever read.

Kip boy, Maybe we should all have bought EGHT, the one great stock Flec claimed 'to be the only tech issue I will keep buying'. That was last September and EGHT was at 12. I am wondering whether Mr. Short is still buying heavily into EGHT at 6 1/4 today. Mr. Short certainly made some good picks in the past. Everyone does. Notably even Jim Rogers made some nice picks in the past few years. The thing that bothers me most is that Mr. Short uses exactly the same tone, same words in his daily column. Gosh, he even closes his column in the same way for several weeks in a row. Maybe I should buy EGHT tomorrow at the open to avoid being labeled insane by Mr. Short. larry!
