“ This shit is a hoax like y2k.“

That’s not a very informed comment. Y2K was absolutely real. It didn’t turn out to be a disaster because of all the effort spent on fixing the issues. If ignored, there would have been problems all over. It’s like saying WWII was a hoax because the Germans didn’t take over the world. Sometimes huge efforts by the right people can blunt the effect of a looming disaster.

I do agree with you that the DOW will never be “zero”. It could drop 99% every day and never hit zero, because math. I can also tell you that if it gets under 10,000 I know where my money is going. I’ve got a pile outside the market just waiting for the right opportunity.

> Y2K issues

That’s true because I was one of the people working to fix the issues.
