>> Jeff, Let me get this straight...... You lose a leg. In heaven, the angels re-attach it!? What happens if you get cremated down here? What will they attach the leg to? I guess, in that case, all you have is a leg. <<
Geez! Who in their right mind would get cremated? What if you're not really dead? :-) In any case, yes, you would just have a leg and you'd have to hop around with your pile of ashes for the rest of eternity. You know, God does have a sense of humor, even if it is a sick one.
>> Bad stocks don't go to hell, only high paid analysts who call a company up and believe what they say, and then recommend that people buy the stock. <<
Oooh, I think it's more devilish than that. Highly paid analysts work for big brokerage firms who make dud recommendations to their largest clients. These clients get disgruntled when their broker's recommendations turn sour and threaten to take their business elsewhere. The house tells the analyst to issue a recommendation which he/she does. Then the house, savvy as it is, asks other houses to also issue buys (you know the routine, you scratch my back, I'll scratch yours). Naive investors gobble up the outstanding shares on all the recommendations, then the house unloads their client's stock at a minimal loss or small profit. See MOT, HWP, BAY, and IBM to name just a few.
