The low hanging fruit, i.e. idiots whose parents paid for prep school, Yale, and then the Harvard MBA, was there for the taking. These people who were (often) truly not worthy of the education they received (or supposedly received) rose to the top of companies such as AIG, Bear Stearns and Lehman Brothers and all levels of our government. All of this behavior supporting the Aristocracy only ended up making it easier for me to find people stupid enough to take the other side of my trades. God bless America.”&lt;p&gt;Assuming these people have any level of sophistication is what gets us into these messes. It’s good to remember they are betting billions of dollars based on nothing but fomo and don’t know anything special at all.</text><parent_chain><item><author>boringg</author><text>Poor move by the CEO.
