IF I were heavily involved in the markets. . . and I saw that L$ prices had dropped considerably. . . I'd do my best to convince people to sell their current holdings so I could snatch them up at that deflated price, hoard them, and wait for the market to inevitably go back up. Other than tying people to a chair and forcing them to hit that "Sell" button, how might I go about getting people to sell in a panic. . . ? Hrmmmmm  |

Or is it a conspiracy of investment alts intending on driving the economy somewhere?
Unsavory choices, all.
It is definitely that. Notice we now have three threads saying Panic/Depression, all created by alts of the same moron. Now we just need alt # 4 to post and it will be a clean sweep.

Wouldn't it be cool if it dropped to 0?
That would just be the funniest friggin thing I'd seen all year - seriously - It'd take a plastic surgeon 4 hours to get the smile off my face.
Siggy.

From: Billy Grace Well Donovan, If it is a bad thingy it must be the evil Land Barons behind this... right??? hehe  Heh. Billy, the joke's on you. Last night I was seduced by an Evil Land Baron, and bitten in the neck. This morning when I woke up, groggy and pale-of-skin, I had long fangs cutting through my lower lip, and my soulful brown eyes definitely held a reddish tint. I have become an Evil Land Baron, myself. No lie, absolutely serious, I have joined the Dark Side. I had the opportunity to make a little money in the land trades biz, and I grabbed it. Of course this Evil Land Baron who bit me agreed that even Evil Land Barons need to be loved by the People. So we're going to try something different from the usual Pillage, Rape, Burn, and Chung. (C'mon, I may have true teeth now, and the rising sun may tickle my skin, but I'm still me inside here.... ) But I'm enjoying the idea of betraying my ideals, my soul, and most of all -- sticking it to biz wannabes who stereotype loyal critics as a bunch of artsy socialist pansies who "never did a day's decent work in their lives". Heh. Of course, you're right. They are artsy socialist pansies, too lazy themselves to make money. Oh... that's my other side talking now....
