Comments on: Man learns bombs not best way to raise tech stocks

What do they put in the Iowa water supply? Freakin nuts!

This is not the first guy from Iowa with his own version of reality. What are they smoking down there? I hate to say it but many Iowan men live up to their state's history of mental illness.

Don't see a problem here

It all seems very reasonable.

So ok, Steve Jobs and a few others may have alternative methods of making a few quid from the stock market, but surely they should admire the "out of the box" thinking behind this guy's financial strategy.

If its ok to decide when you wanted your stocks to be bought a few years after you bought them, why can't a guy threaten investment firms with Hell, damnation and a broken pipe bomb when asking for a 3 day rally for a few stocks?

Sounds like he's got the way tech firms operate down to a T.

It might be the black squirrels...

... but nuts, the black squirrels live at the _other_ end of Iowa.
