A scorpion once asked a turtle if he would carry him across the river. The turtle said "I will not carry you because you will sting me and I will drown". The scorpion then said "If I sting you, we will both drown". The turtle, having been convinced of this, put the scorpion on his back and swam into the river. Then the scorpion stung the turtle. The turtle turned around and said "You have stung me, and now we will both drown. Why did you do it?". The scorpion replied, "I cannot help it, its in my nature". And so the brokers will drive techs up again, cause another bubble that will put them out of business. Its in their nature.

Facing jail, banker leaps to death
BestBank's ex-owner plummets 27 stories hours before hearing

Former BestBank owner Edward Mattar, facing 14 years in prison and the forfeiture of millions of dollars at his fraud sentencing Friday, chose instead to leap from a 27th-story window.


Just think, in 1929 they did this type of stuff after the market crashed. :sweatingbullets:
