I’m not picking on these companies boys and girls. And not I’m not picking on the lucky speculators that hit it big, make their money, and get out. I’ve been there, done that.

Sign me up for more of that, yum, yum.
America needs a financial crash enema but they don’t want to deal with the consequences. So buckle up when Mr. Market decides to do it without government approval.
