WHAT'S HAPPENING!!!!! THIS PANIC SELLING IS CAUSING WIVES TO KILL HUSBANDS, YET SHORT BASTARDS LIKE MYSELF ARE MAKING MORE MONEY THAN I EVER DID GOING LONG. :)) On a serious note, I certainly enjoy making money off of some of these BS stocks that rose to obscene heights on nothing more than hype and bogus prospects. It's nice to see reality and valuations being mentioned in the same sentence as INVESTING. It's even better to out those scumbag bull nosed analysts and brokers who have had it WAY too easy in the last several years by simply touting the SAME damn stocks, not putting an ounce of sweat or BRAINS into analysis. They failed to DO THEIR JOBS of properly advising people on what the market and investing is all about. NOW where are all these geniuses when their beloved bull market has left them?? They don't know how to properly value companies or how to react in a bear market. And sadly it's thousands older Americans who are getting the sh-t end of the stick again by having trusted these A-Holes. It may seem strange, but as much as I realize that the market is still overvalued, it hurts me to watch it tank indescriminately the way it has because I realize that it's the life savings of many people that is dwindling away. Many people simply invest in their 401K plans and don't have a clue how to call up to see how things are doing or know enough to transfer their money to the sideline in times like these. What's worse is those irresponsible idiots who repeat their mantra and tell people that these are now bargains and to buy more. They ought to be lined up and shot. People need realistic, sensable advice. These idiots didn't see the writings on the wall 4 months ago when the Dow Transports were SERIOUSLY DIVERGING and TANKING while the Dow was at new HIGHs. Where did these wet behind the ears, Lexus driving, Business school drop outs buy their G-d Damn Degrees? They'll get no pity from me when Merril Lynch, BT, Citicorp, Morgan Stanley and many other brokerages Fire these incompetent a-holes. Lets see how good they are without a job and try to invest THEIR own money with no one to bail them out!!! Let's see if they go in and BUY MORE when their portfolio is down 60%. I doubt it will happen, but I'd love to see that Abbey Cohen broad homeless and with a squeegy in her hand and picking half eaten Big Mac's out a garbage can. Now who's laughing. It's just a shame that hundreds of thousands of hard working Americans have been taken to the cleaners listening to these morons. Regards. Jose.

Doug, is this an example of what you're looking for? "My wife wanted to liquidate all at the market top. She has been warning of the impending crash for two years. You can imagine what I hear from her now. Luckily she's been out of town all week and doesn't know how bad we've been hit the last few days. We were down only 40% before she left and she said I would have to work five extra years to get out of the hole. I have to be very careful to avoid talk of the markets when she calls. The day of reckoning is in less than a week. Pray for me." Message 5966119 Barb
