    - It's too bad D.Mac isn't in charge of the actual stock market. He'd have been scribbled and banned at portfolio docked at least a dozen times by now. -- nm - Qale Apr 20, 19:05
  - It makes absolutely no sense. Not even the usual tiny little nugget of truth that usually is somewhere in there, maybe, kinda if you squint. -- nm - Qale Apr 20, 18:57
