Wtock Waters: Polly sure sounded like a doomer

greenspun.com : LUSENET : TimeBomb 2000 (Y2000) : One Thread

Anyone catch the polly on Moneyline last night? Started off with the "everything's fixed, we'll be fine, but panic is our worst enemy" baloney. Then, much to my surprise, started giving fairly graphic detail of the major posturing that the big money guys are doing for the rollover. Suggested that equity buying freezes and highly conservative positions were being implemented. For a polly, he sure painted a ugly picture.

Dave,

Didn't see Moneyline (don't own a TV), but it sounds interesting. As for your typos, more people will probably check this thread out (like I did) just to find out what or who Wtock Waters is, so don't despair. :-)
