They would not be in bad shape if they had saved some of their earnings. Or do you think they invested themselves in the stocks they were recommneding? Nah, they couldn't have been that dumb...

I remember a cousin of mine trying to sell me a stock
I asked him how much he owned

On the other hand, if they were telling all of those investors who trusted them to put their money in stocks, and did something saner with their money, that would've been really, really hypocritical.

The stock analysts deserve an awful lot of the blame. They are the ones who collected the big bucks to dig into companies and find things that diminished the value of these stocks. I don't want to see them commit suicide or become drug addicts or anything, but time spent at some menial job might give them a clue of the damage they've done to the financial security of others.
