DVF, I thought I'd address this to you, but it could just as easily be addressed to many who post here and whom I respect and feel much gratitude for. I received this from my cousins in Ohio, as you can see it is fairly dog-eared (>> >>) in true cyberfashion, and it came as a true chain letter (send this on within 96 hours, etc.). In any event, what struck me was how much it had to say not only about life, but investing as well. I personally utilize ## 2, 4, 10 and 14 every day in the patch!!
Enjoyez vous,
