I just want to say that all you motherFoRKers who don't have to work for
a living are really starting to grate on those of us working 20-hour days. :)
The Nasdaq's below 2300, get a job and start creating some real value
for the economy, you slackers!
Hey, speaking of actively destroying value, what does it mean when a
company has a market cap of $64 million but $748 million in cash,
investments, and restricted cash?

What guts does it take to downgrade a sector already down more than 90%
in the composite? What does Dane Lewis do for an encore, beat up girl
