I worked for a small Seattle contractor in '87, he had a niche gig of rebuilding apt. decks that had rotted away.
For about a week, every morning he'd come in saying something like, "Jeez, my Microsoft stock is up another point and a half!" After a while I'm thinking, "Yeah, yeah, shut the F up..." Only the hottest stock tip of the century and I'm sneering at the guy. Oh, I'm a smart one all right.
