SDR, all 3 of them did say that there is a definite harsh tone on the threads regarding the financial markets
I agree. I know I did make one “happy” comment when the Dow first tanked, but this was because the market had been shrugging off bad news for months and was going almost straight up. As a buy/hold investor of mainly small caps, it was frustrating waiting for the correction, knowing (as best anyone can) that one was in the wings.
But the joy at economic devestation on this board is a bit off-putting. There is a definite anti-bull mindset, which makes sense for housing given the genesis of the site, but it spills into stocks as well.
True wallstreet professionals, of whom I know too many, do make money on up and down markets, but not one of them talks the way most of the uber-bear braggards do. They do tend to sound alot like Chris.
