is like vegas without house rules?(for the non gamblers a house rule is a published guarranty of return from eg:90-97% of every dollar spent) Sheesh, old as you are Im sure you must have noticed that by now.

Stock prices are a representation of the wishes of the purchaser, they have zero intrinsic value of the companies assests.

It would be like lending me 3 million dollars with no collateral then crying foul when I spent it all and cant meet the payments. After I return my leased benz and jag, get kicked out of the rental manse, you would collect nothing. This is the basis of the stock market. So quitcher bitchin
thanx,
