Meltdown vs Crash in the cardboard hobby.....

Posted By: Joe Pelaez

Jeff Lichtman, ever since you used the word meltdown over my choice of word crash in the hobby, I've given the choice of words, heavy thought.
I like your choice better!

The word crash is outdated.
It's harsh.
It's from 1929.
The picture of people jumping out of windows, just because their stocks took a dive, while they were suppose to continue their upward skyrocket affect into the stratosphere. ... money chasing money.

Jeff, meltdown is related more to 3 Mile Island, and Grenoble.
A crash is sudden, whereas a Meltdown is slower.

Meltdown it is.

Having said that, would you consider all that's going on about "The Card", as a volcano waiting to erupt, or is it part of the ongoing Meltdown?

Should people sell NOW?

Joe
