flickerful, Well let's see here on your questions.

With respect to my parents' address: I do keep an old favorite car, which I will never sell in my lifetime, stored in their garage. Can't ever clean them kids out can you! -vbg- The fire/theft insurance with the insurance company lists their address as location, however, the car is and allways has been regestered in my now home State. Other than that, haven't used their address on anything since the 70's. Suppose the insurance company could be selling mailing lists, but no other solicitations of any sort have ever showed up there for other matters. Of course ancient credit lists would give that address, funny story since I have some time to kill:

I had a paper route when I was a kid. Got tired going down to the company to fork over their share of the collections. (In that day most subscriptions were collected by the paperboy.) So, I opened up a checking account to be able to just mail in their cut. Back then the banks had a guaranteed profit due to Fed mandates on interest rates, and checking accounts were totally free. I think my average daily balance was something like 50 cents. -g- Anyway, when VISA was just starting up, they must have bought a bank customer list, so they issued me an unsolicited credit card with a limit of 300 bucks. $300 was a big chunk of change back then, the electronic verification was unheard of, and those fools gave plastic to a 7th grade boy going through puberty! -g- Never did abuse it, but sure thought about it when I learned about the age of majority business. As a result, my credit history goes back fairly far.

Pulvia was "right", but his predictions on stock price were not quite on the mark. Direction is the key word, and on that he was most certainly correct.

As far as complicity, you left me in left field. -g-

Much ado about nothing? I don't know, I stand by my prior statements and just wouldn't touch this pile of dog dung. Investing is tough enough without adding this to the mix, unless one knows the true motivations. For what its worth, I would tend to side with Pulvia.

Regards, from a poor boy who got shanghaied from his weekend, DWW
