Is it just pure hatred ? There don't seem to be much arguing going on...

My theory is that the nerds on here who spend too much time in the financial fun house become imbibed with the ethos of it. It's really a sad end to a lot of idealistic young hackers who give up on changing the world in order to defend their fancy new stock portfolios. The joke is ultimately on them however, as everyone who trusts wall street eventually gets taken to the cleaners.
