To the tune of Don McLean’s “American Pie”<\/p>\n
A long, long week ago
\nI can still remember how the market used to make me smile
\nWhat I’d do when I had the chance
\nIs get myself a cash advance
\nAnd add another tech stock to the pile.
\nBut Alan Greenspan made me shiver
\nWith every speech that he delivered.<\/p>\n
Bad news on the rate front
\nStill I’d take one more punt.
\nI can’t remember if I cried
\nWhen I heard about the CPI.
\nI lost my fortune and my pride
\nThe day the NASDAQ died.<\/p>\n
So bye-bye to my piece of the pie.
\nNow I’m gettin’ calls for margin
\n‘Cause my cash account’s dry.
\nIt’s just two weeks from a new all-time high.
\nAnd now we’re right back where we were in July.
\nWe’re right back where we were in July.<\/p>\n
Did you buy stocks you never heard of?
\nQCOM at 150 or above?
\n‘Cos George Gilder told you so
\nNow do you believe in Home Depot?
\nCan Wal-Mart save your portfolio?
\nAnd can you teach me what’s a P\/E ratio?
\nWell, I know that you were leveraged too
\nSo you can’t just take a long-term view.<\/p>\n
Your broker shut you down
\nNo more margin could be found.
\nI never worried on the whole way up
\nBuying dot coms from the back of a pickup truck.
\nBut Friday I ran out of luck
\nIt was the day the NAAAASDAQ died.<\/p>\n
I started singin’
\nBye-bye to my piece of the pie.
\nNow I’m gettin’ calls for margin
\n‘Cause my cash account’s dry.
\nIt’s just two weeks from a new all-time high.
\nAnd now we’re right back where we were in July.
\nYeah we’re right back where we were in July.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
