RE: Words of wisdomYour quote illustrates two perverse characteristics of the 'longandstrong':
1. A propensity to fabricate completely unfounded, wildly optimistic predictions.
2. Paranoia. Any downturn in the price of the longandstrong's stock is attributed to dark forces such as nefarious brokers, hedge funds, "big boys", and insiders. Of course, they can't really prove this, but then nobody has ever proven that the Easter Bunny doesn't exist either, so they may have a point.
