I'm full of it again, Ice. <g>

I never meant to imply that it wasn't insane -- but why'd the press get all hot and bothered all of a sudden? What do you think is behind all these stories today? Do you believe that the media is simply performing its unbiased duty here?

I agree I don't know of a mania like this one. I think nifty fifty of sixties paled by comparison. In fact tulips and South Seas were tamer than prices going up 15 fold in one day weren't they. The South Sea thing took years to really bubble up didn't it.

In fact Ice, did you see this cute thread saying that not to slight tulip mania by comparing it to this market. There were only 13 entries and several were mine.
