  • The Chicken's Guide to Picking Stocks in 2008
    I like this article. I see the actual point (am I the only one, besides Richard Shinnick?). There IS real danger in this market. The market, this time around, has shown, and continues to show its true colors. The stock market is a rich man's game, and is 100% designed to be manipulated to assure that the rich boys win, in the long run. The bizarre happenings of late only serve to illustrate how malleable the workings of the stock market are, and how easily some computer-savvy desk jockey like Jerome Kerviel, of France's Societe Generale can rip the system's guts out, at will. I do think that the rich boys will tighten up the gears, now that others outside the Olde Boy Network have seen through the gauzy fabric of the machinations. But as far as ever being able to outflank Big Money, there will never be a time when your money is not in serious danger, in any stock market. You're better off, any day, in a poker game. At least there, you have some chance to catch the cheaters, since they're sitting at the table with you, instead of hiding in some bank's back rooms, plotting when to fold YOUR hand.
