[Wretched Excess]

I have noticed a WE effect quite similar to The Gore Effect, where every place he gives a speech about global warming, a blizzard strikes.  every time I post a thread about the stock market being up, it either immediately tanks, or it tanks the next day.  so, today I waited until the thing closed before I posted this thread.  let's see it tank tomorrow.

I have noted a similar effect when I buy a stock.  I should start a thread and post my pics so everyone will know who to short.
