Then the market suddenly crashes on news of a dip in Chinese underpants sales and the grifters shop for the next stock to buy. Funny, this is a month after the 1,000 point stock crash was blamed on a fat finger errant trade. Despite the whole system being computerized and every trade recorded they still haven't discovered who did that yet. That's pretty odd, don't you think? I did an inventory once where we came up thirty grand short and everyone knew it was a computer error. Somebody punched in ten when they should have punched in a hundred but they made us stay and find it.

You just scratch your head in wonder as the answer is so clear but the goals are as far away as the stars.

The free market fails the children of Pluto again.
