Porky, Sorry, you are asking the wrong guy. I do know that tulips were not the first bubble. Spain and England got killed by a gold and silver bubble in the 17th century. Biblical times were full of bubbles concerning oils, which would go to huge prices then pop. There were many bubbles in holy and usually phony artifacts going way back. The Church defoliated most of Italy selling pieces of The True Cross. About credit, I just don't know. Interesting concept, though. BTW, Alan G. had to say that stuff as his printing act only works on the economy if the market goes up. If the internuts pop, the entire market may tank, and he can't afford that. MB
