Quote from stock_trad3r:
When it is a bear market I'll leave, but that wont happen so I have nothing to worry about.
Exactly the answer I was expecting. So, at least you are consistent in your cluelessness. I bet you have the same strategy in your stock "trading": no exit plan. That way you can continue to deny the bear market when it comes. Just hold on to your mo-mo stocks, no matter how much they lose in value.
As to the mortgage mess (not just subprime), obviously you have not noticed it is destroying the banking system right now. Hint: check the BKX chart.
