Krispy-  I feel for you.  I\'m hanging on  by a thread myself.

This didn\'t exactly happen to me but here, is the type of thing I\'ve been dealing with.


Quote
   Stamford (AP) -- A 60-year-old Stamford man is charged with threatening to blow up a downtown bank, angry over the performance of his investment accounts.

Police say Stephen Montalvo was charged Tuesday with committing an act of terrorism and first-degree threatening.

Police say Montalvo entered a local branch of a well-known national bank, then told employees he would blow it up and kill everyone inside because he was unhappy with his investment accounts.

Police would not name the bank, citing the ongoing investigation. The FBI\'s counter-terrorism task force is involved in the case, a police spokesman said.

Montalvo was held on $150,000 bond for arraignment Wednesday in Stamford Superior Court. Information was not immediately available on whether he had an attorney.
       


Today I alone I\'ve been told twice I have a secure place in hell, and an old woman told me she\'s praying I get cancer.

Think About This...

If you had purchased $1,000.00 of Nortel stock one year ago, it would now be
worth $49.00.
With Enron, you would have $16.50 left of the original $1,000.00.
With WorldCom, you would have less than $5.00 left.
If you had purchased $1,000.00 of Delta Air Lines stock you would have
$44.00 left.
If you had purchased United Airlines, you would have nothing left.

But, if you had purchased $1,000.00 worth of beer one year ago,
drank all the beer, then turned in the cans for the aluminum recycling
refund,
you would have $214.00.

Based on the above, the best current investment advice is to drink heavily
and recycle.

The current situation vs. the accounting scandals of 2001 vs. the airlines inability to turn profit = apples, oranges, bananas

What exactly do you do for work, wildcoyote? You in evictions?

AIG might need a bailout for those who worry my insurance business is stable and secure.

Funny you say that. I did evictions from 1999-2002.  Though if this keeps up I may seek work in the field again.  It\'s certainly a recession proof business.

As for repo man, slumlord, I\'ve never invested in a tow truck or a slum.  Though upon further examination of my stock portfolio, that was my folly.

You and I might have something to talk about, sir.

Please do. I will look at it and depending on if I feel like I am getting sued or not, I might keep it but it might also end up in the trash.
