Remember the reference to the Dutch tulip bulb crisis when discussing the dot com days? The fraud continued, though, and the same mouthpieces calling anybody who disagreed stupid still have jobs as “expert commentators” and “financial analysts”. Never mind that they’ve gonve from talking up that bubble on stocks that were by and large very well funded hobbies of technos who had no clue that hosting free services and giving away free products isn’t a sound business plan. The drum beates stopped talking about dividends all together and kept a straight face while quoting obscen P/E ratios, while hding the facts that earnings of $100 mean nothing if you have bills of a million.

Then toss in the real estate bubble, the oil bubble, the gold bubble…just nothing more than giving the gambler who’s broke but found a fiver in theparking lot the chance to throw even that away.

“Investors” who lost out ot a pyramid scheme are thre reason there’s the old line, “you can’t con an honest man”. The fact that they thought their superior status and inside connections would get them money for nothing is the exact kind of dishonest greed that makes a person a victim to scam.

The “poor woman” in court in NYC crying she had millions as was now on food stamps probably never thought once in her life of the people she damaged when those tactics worked in her favor and she profited at others’ expense.

Sadly, the only way to achieve true justice would be for the dollar to become so worthless, the thieves are finally as broke as the nation of victims they show no sympathy for.
