If you will recall, a couple months ago I hypothesized that there was only one thing that would shut up the ridiculously insane longs. And that would be for them to lose their shirt. Well, it worked. DAYTRADER and the rest of people defending this POS on a daily basis have all left. Just as nobody believed me when I told them the split would NOT occur on Dec 18, but rather on the 5th of Jan, the only thing that convinces this calibre of "investor" is to be hit in the face with a sledge hammer. The question is- is it time to start shorting the online brokerages? They're making their profits based solely on the sit-at-home gamblers. Now that they've blown their credit card cash advances, will they keep it up or actually get jobs? Will there be new crime sprees as newbie daytraders go through withdrawl and break into cars and homes in order to find object to pawn for their habits? New paradigm my ass. Just a lot of really dumb people acting like a herd. It's called mob behavior. It's not a business plan, no matter how much forrester would like you to believe.
