Well, I heard

of this fellow I'll call Smacky Joe who was given just enough insider info to build up a following. On SEVERAL stocks at once. Anyway, old Smacky built up such a following that someone even posted on a header that "Smacky is God!" Old Smacky did have a kind of charm. He liked to talk about God and country and apple pie and those warm fuzzy things, and they say he was into charity, but wooooooo when he got attacked, he didn't sound like a preacher anymore. Some of you may have read the posts.

Anyway, the moral of MY lesson was: Beware of Heroes bearing gifts.
