Hey Polly, why not make your own website where you beat your chest daily for all to see? To those of us who watch and invest in the markets, we can see for ourselves the daily happenings, we don't need you.

If you have some technical or fundamental analysis that you think would benefit us market watchers, why not put that here instead of your childish rants?

In the meantime, bite yourself.

Do you have any idea what the consequences for you and our country are going to be when this Mania ends???

Yes Ray,

I know what could happen. I know I could get killed by a car tomorrow too. I'm not living in the "what if world" anymore. I lived in the Yourdon "what if" world for over two years. I listened to all of you blathering how the market would crash and the world would end.

Enjoy the moment Ray.

From my extremely limited and truncated stock market education via the Internet, the Wall Street Journal and other media sources, I anticipate a DOW rise to 12,000 before the end of JAN00. I didn't think such a top was possible last year, but, in the euphoria of a mania, greed predominates the average mindset of the American investor. The monies will continue to spill in for days.

Greenspan made clear that an interest rate hike will occur. Wall Street chuckled and bought more stocks. Greenspan has lost control. The current Greed Factor is out of control.

When this mania ends in the Crash of the Millennium, I think the financial system will be taken down. And so will Greenspan...

Hillbilly, that looks just like you.

Patience, Grasshoper. Patience. The way I understood it, Comeau predicted the market will drop from 5500-6000 points WITHIN THE FOLLOWING TWO MONTHS *AFTER* the 11500-11600 range was achieved, which means that we have until March before we can declare this one a winner or a loser.

Your clever and ever-so-clear-and-constructive argument just died.

Go home and learn something. Maybe you'll have something useful for the forum in the future.

OK Kurt, whatever you say.

-- (I'm@pol.ly), January 14, 2000.

Yes, the Dow blew past the critical point level of 11569, so that part of Comeau's prediction has been invalidated. However, to be fair it's still early: the time frame was late Jan/early Feb.

What was your previous user name? FWIW, I've NEVER posted under any false E-mail addresses. I post what I feel for real. I'm not a phony, and I don't care much for the anonymous blasters who hide behind false E-mail addresses.

I sense that America will be judged severely by God Almighty. There is this great feeling of invulnerability which has put Americans into a false sense of security. They feel they are invincible. Their arrogance is palpable, being evinced by their greedy stock options. They want to retire WITH GREAT WEALTH. But will they obtain this?

The current credit bubble is growing more fragile, and it cannot be sustained forever. There are ominous economic indicators signifying that this current stock mania will end due to the limits of credit. And it will be UGLY according to Fleckenstein, who is a very smart man.

What is your feedback on this?

-- dinosaur (dinosaur@williams-net.com), January 14, 2000.

dinosaur,

I don't doubt that the bubble will burst, and when it does, it will be nasty. Like I said, I could be killed by a car tomorrow.

Are you referring to the bear Bill Fleckenstein? I try not to discuss religion.

-- (I'm@pol.ly), January 14, 2000.

My take,

Klinton and the liberal elite will not let the bubble burst on their watch, as it would destroy His Legacy.The fed (g-spam) will see to it that the euphoria remains, hoping that gory rides in on the wave.After that all bets are off as the market can only be manipulated to a certain extent.

TPTB know the imbalances that exist cannot be substained indefinetly,and furthermore ; THEY DON'T WANT THEM TO !!! Their goal is to see to it that all countries are equal,paying roughly the same amount for their gas/whatever.We Americans are spoiled in comparison to other countries as far as what we spend in petroleum costs.

I don't mean to get off topic here But...It is no secret that the U.N would like to see more parity between the nations and the more it hurts Americans the better it is for the middle east etc...

The whole world thinks/knows that Americans are weak and would love for us to be taken down a notch or two,in either blood or money.

Most Americans don't know what really hard times are like,only people from past generations or those of us that realize that the good times only last sooo long. A true awakening is at hand,even if it takes years/months to materialize.

Currently we are ripe for the pickin; soft and numb. For the most part we as a country are a sorry lot,we can't eat anything unless we get it off the shelf or fast food/restaraunts,we can't go anywhere unless we drive,can't get water if it doesn't come from a faucet,can't be entertained unless it comes from the tv,etc,etc,etc....

We are being systematicaly set up for the kill,a wounding or two at first, then the jugular, FREEDOM GOODBYE.

Y2k is/was just another tool to keep our eyes off the prize,just like every other earth shattering/stupid shit/cuban boy, event that takes place.

Enough of this rant,I HOPE we all get the picture.

Goodnight.

Yes, William Fleckenstein, adept contrarian with a great sense of humor. I've enjoyed reading his daily Wall Street feedback since the very first day I read his words at www.siliconinvestor.com

I went back in his archived article to the OCT99 stock plunge and noted he didn't overreact. He can keep his cool.
