Most people are ruined by booms and busts, but a few make out.

I think there was one entreprenuer who said that he would like to see another bubble, no doubt hoping to take advantage. And author Michael Wolff said he wants another bubble to write about.

As the bumper sticker seen in Texas after the oil crash read: “Lord give me just one more boom: I promise not to screw this one up”

Mr French,

I am surprised at your take on the program, although I do agree that it was at least an interesting program.

The reason I say this is because there were at least 2 people who seemed to look back too fondly and even say that they “hope we see something similar again.”

Mike Wilson, do you really believe that it is necessary for someone to lose everything and start over to live a non-static life ?

I agree with the assessment of John McAfee’s segment. Extraordinary. He came off as totally a peace with his misfortunes and made me consider my own situation in life. His comments about preferring to lose everything and start over rather than living a static life that never changes blew me away.

I was really disapointed with fabers one on the housing crisis. it was thorough EXCEPT for the fed element. they interviewed greenspan, but not to ask him why he kept interest rates so low for so long, instead he was this omniscent “expert” talking about the tragedy of it all.
