Two Internet Tough Guys from TUSCL Walking Down the Street...

Then another "tough guy", from his parents basement while hiding behind the internet, writes this.

Sheesh, last try and stay on topic and quit flaming.

I'll post how and when I like, 623. If you don't like it: what are you going to do about it, tough guy? (Answer: nothing...)

Touche'. (Look it up)

Things are tough now for Dougster. Brokers are supposed to let you buy on margin. But there are still lots of ways to do it on borrowed money. So if you do it that way, even a minor correction spells total ruin. No Rolls-Royce, no diamond ring, no secretary wearing pearls, its tough now on Dougster. Even though we are in another bubble, with nothing to start with, its been tough for him.

But don't worry though, we're ready now to start taping his cable TV show, "How to Pay Hookers for Sex".

LOL!

^^^^^^ One big Ponzi scheme, from the end of the 19th Century 'till now, from Edison's ticker tape machine to today's Internet, bringing more and more people and more and more money into a bubble which has nothing to do with material human needs. If not for this, Marx and Engels would have been proven right, before even 1900.

And the Dougster's of this world would have gotten their just deserve:

The Big Short, by Michael Lewis. Movie too. Many say that all of his books are excellent:

I don't know, I read "Flash Boys" and my sense was, okay, that's slightly cool, but so what? What's all the fuss?

Its about the mass psychology of financial speculation.

Two good ways to measure how sick our society is:

1. Amount of money going into religion ( fatalism )
2. How high the DOW is ( fatalism )

Michael Lewis sheds light on the latter.
