Indeed. We have been the generation that just lived through the biggest asset bubble in the history of man; made tulips and .com stock look like piker bubbles.

Cheney's probably behind it. Sick bastard that he is.

Eeeeaaasssy there, Cochise. Some smart people may take some exception, given the odds between investing and trading. IMHO.

Like sheep to slaughter. LMAO (Really). Banks, retailers and home builders led this 'rally.' LMFAO @ 7.6% unemployment, too. Try 15% or more!!! It's hilarious!
