What's the definition of insanity? It's doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result. By that standard, most of us are insane. But not at the same time. And on that basis we trust. But can this way of life endure, if more and more people are insane at the same time? Do not run when you lose. Do not whine when it hurts. I honestly think there is may be 75 percent in the world who know what they are. But I will tell you what they are. They are WMDs: Weapons of Mass Destruction. That is what they are. When I was away, it seemed like greed got greedier with a little bit of envy mixed in. good day, I'm okay, bad day I'm okay. What is the different? Like I said the mother of all bubbles was the Cambrain Explosion. And it happened by chance over 500 millon years ago. Scientists will tell you it was unprecedented,it happened in a flash. And from it, suddenly the word had millions of new species. And from that... was born us. The human race. Now, in that sense, bubbles are evolutionary. They kill excess. They lean out the herd. But they never die, they just come back in different forms. When they burst, they give birth to a new day. Always creating change.

  • Julie Steinhardt: 1929. It'll get worse now, 'cause it'll go faster. Money markets will dry up, round the world by the end of the week. ATMs will stop spitting bills. Federal deposit insurance will collapse. Banks'll close. Mobs panic. It's gonna be the end of the world, Bill.
