I have not listed these publications in any particular order."

I see nothing wrong with Paulson's investments or his success. I just wish I'd been as prescient as he was. My 401k might look very different today.

Heads up - profanity in the Paulson article. But it makes sense, it's the same as the tech bubble. Infallible secruitys and investments ... aren't.

As a short seller myself, the only thing immoral about this is that Bear Stearns and company are trying to put the blame on them. Short sellers aren't making money shorting solid stock. Short sellers are the Paul Reveres of the coorporate world; be glad for them.

I've been telling all my friends to short, puts, and options the builders and banks. For what it's worth, it's all legal (and very smart).

Shorts point out what is junk. If there was something solid holding up their smoke and mirrors, they wouldn't have to worry. These jokers are mad because someone is saying, "The emperor has no clothes" when the thing they should be doing is putting on some clothes, not yelling, "off with the messenger's head!"
