AOL could cause economic meltdown! (From AOL thread) <g> To give you all a little perspective. If AOL goes down below $100, can anyone tell me what would happen to all high PE stocks like EBAY,LCOS,YHOO,PCLN and AMZN? Their stocks will go on a free fall....margin calls will be forced...online broker sites will melt-down.....investors will loose billions...many will file bankruptcy......consumer spending will slow to a crawl...businesses will incur millions of losses due to lack of sales...earnings will drop.....layoffs will follow......unemployment will rise to double digits...and this precious economy will be in the toilet...... And I think he's serious. exchange2000.com

CB: Amazing isn't it. I can't help thinking back to the arrogant comments MB absorbed when he posted what in effect were accurate observations on their thread a month or two ago. Wait until they get the guns down and properly targeted on the net stocks,....then we will see some real screams of margin agony. Best, Earlie
