Trade ya a 57 Chevy hubcap for that sack of beans.

This is what we get for allowing ourselves to become totally enamored to the stock market, the gambling and whore house it is.

Wall Street and Republicans did this to us by making it impossible to make gains from bank savings and CDs, and everyone took flight to stocks and mutual funds and became overnight market experts. They also made trading as easy as buying bubble gum. After that the public refused to criticize the rigged system because we became the system but in the far, far back seat.

But as they've consistently said, the market always comes back. We just may not live long enough to see it.

Not making light of your loss because I've been burned bad before too (90s tech crash).
