<<TomD<I would hope that you would aspire to greater things than being ethically equivalent to the major brokerages and their stock-promoting activities.> Is this addressed to me? If so please expand.>>

No, no, HJ. It was written to OC. I asked him to quit making predictions without qualifying them with adverbs like "proabably". I suggested that newbies might believe him & get hurt if he was wrong. He replied that his predictions were no more harmful than some brokerages predictions.

You got drawn into this because he, like you, thought I belonged on some other planet. I do read a lot of science fiction, but I doubt this will be feasible in my lifetime. [a good friend of mine, a mathametician, got a really cool article published in the British Journal of Interplanetary Sciences, which mathmetically proved that our universe was an "artifact of organized extraterrestrial intelligence". He closed with a quote from Einstein "I want to know who God is, and how he made the universe".] Anyway, at speeds appproaching the speed of light, our corporeal electrons tend to lose their attraction for their nuclei, resulting in disintegration. Until we can safely travel near the speed of light, I think I will be stuck on this planet.
