Hutch,

>"Maybe you want them to fail? And take your your investments with them?"<

Yes. They were gambling on high risk speculation and lost. It's the chance one takes. They could have put their money in bonds.

I have no sympathy for anyone that gambles on large profits and fails.

JMHO,
Ron

Oh, my. Comments from Hutch. Nice run-up in Hong Kong last night. Ay? I'll bet I made a bundle. "Buy low, sell high" really works.

By the way, my friends don't lend. They give.

Your perspective, though popular, is an erratum in my world, Hutch.

Hutch! It's for you. It's Paul Volcker!


"Why should the weight of the federal government be brought to bear to help-out a private investor? It is not a bank. This has implications about public policies."


He hung-up. I think he's p*ssed.

Don't worry. I've written my rep's in Congress and told them what he said.

The nerve...!
