> Do you? Yes, I do. I also know their prices are almost entirely controlled by day-trading hordes who can turn on a dime. Or are you forgetting a few days ago when they dropped around 20% in 8 hours? At that rate the companies would be at 0 in one business week. And you kid yourself into thinking these prices are guaranteed? Glenn was quoted in the WSJ as saying he got a margin call, due to ONE DOWN DAY. Apparently a ton of other 'investors' did too. What would happen if there were two down days like that? How long before personal finances were ruined and the game finally ended?
