I told youse guys last night we had to co-ordinate this thing.

I ain't removing nutin' 'til I know it will work.

Pain in the neck, this damn X0,000 crap. Some Colorado wimp shows up after ....

"On the Air"? Okay...

Well, hello out there in internet land!!!!

I dunno what they were pushin' AV...They never get that far with me. This is why. I worked in the business. I understand they have to eat same as we do...as a rule, when I tell one of them I am also in the business ....(I'm not lyin' fer Christsake, I traded for houses in NYC for a couple of years) .... they usually do the intelligent thing and move on.

Idiots keep trying to sell you. Why? That's how stupid. Suppose you were a broker whose customer needed to sell INTC "right the F*** NOW!!!!"

"Sorry, yer trader is on a line with Duke and Co and can't be disturbed."

So you ask, who are these people and how could they be so stupid?

Good question. Just had to work out a geometry problem with the 7th grader and I forgot where I was going with this.

By the time I remember he'll bug me again...for the record it's Wednesday, December 3rd. If this get's posted next summer you know what I go thru each day.

I can't remember but I'll improvise. Brennan went to the same high school I did in Newark..We did not know each other, he is older..he could sell sand to the damn Iraqis, he could.

But the scam is they are using a script to get in the door, a script that was old when Brennan taught his boys at First Jersey...He just taught it well and knew how to work the bigger deal.Someone on that TSO thread posted an old Forbes article which ended with an old story about a guy who bought stock at 10, more at 15, more at 20, tried to sell at 25 and his broker said "...but to who?"

This, for more people that would care to remember, is a true story. A joke now, but a true First Jersey way of workin' a deal. The lame brains that cold call us all now have no clue how to sell this stuff. They were taught by jerks who learned from jerks who learned from jerks who learned from the guys who polished the scam.

These guys should not be able to BS any of us in any way.

---First, "My assistant called you x time ago and you said it would be okay to call you with a reco in the future." Nope...classic scam

--Second. "Hello AV. Just a call to introduce myself. I'm from xxx and have nothing for you today..." READ....The kid is qualifying you. You are put off guard by the fact s/he is not trying to sell anything ...now....so you may give up some of your time. Meanwhile, the little devil is asking more and more personal questions trying to guess your net worth and establish a relationship so next time s/he calls you won't powder the receiver on him/her.

--Third.

eh, gadddamm it what the hell are these schools teaching geometry in the 7th grade for anyway?

Anyway....where was I going with this? I dunno....sorry I guess I had a bad day.
