Very true! I love this long post and hope to see more such as this.

As for me this week I am going Hog wild and buying like a kid in a candy store.

I have not felt this good since 1987, though around 2000-2002 was not bad it was never like this!. :P

This sort of reminds me of my second day on the job in 1980! I, we all, got a message from the chairman of the board. In my new job I was informed that my new company, Merrill Lynch was not going to go out of business! :)

Sucker

The new sport where you get your balls kicked around as the "cash-rich" buy up all those stocks that you just sold at a loss.
