30. I concur, 54nickel
And when you consider that many of today's "investors" probably bought into the fast buck mindset, too, I think there's a justification for a "why should they profit off everyone else's loss?" attitude.

I have friends/acquaintances who are relatively small-time investors -- mostly middle-class widows, to be perfectly honest with you -- who are bemoaning thedrop in their incomes based on the lack of TRADING success of their brokers/financial planners/whatever. Even for them it's not a matter of having bought GM or Ford or whatever stock in order to reap the income from the company's profits; it's all about finding another sucker for an over-inflated stock value.

As always, :nopity: from
