Very nice posting, Voltaire. I know I shall order the right side of the menu, but to save the waiter a question, would you please tell me what Fondutta is?

Voltaire,

Love your vision. I had that same dream. You are the one.

Voltaire, you've outdone yourself! Not only have you explained your investment strategy in a very entertaining way, but you've succeeded in making this girl very hungry! That was a great post!

Voltaire My Man!

Can I ask you a question?

Are you "The "Real" Voltaire? Fantastic!

Do you think as we pull into station---CNBC will be broadcasting from Dos, interviewing the King. As the train leaves the station someone, Voltaire I believe, reaches down pulling Maria onto the train leaving the brain, Mark, Joe, Bill, Kathleen, Tyler and the rest of the crew standing with the others left behind that are stunned and still.

Thanks! Voltaire You made my day. LOL :-) Dealer

Voltaire, enjoyed your literary license. Virtual free-form, as it were.

Now, all you need is a $250,000 advance and a chapter outline. Be sure you ask Jill how it's done. She's been there and done that....

Wow, Voltaire!! That was some allegory. However, do no count our AOL out yet. I am in the specialty food business, and aged goat cheese is very popular these days.

Voltaire you schmu*!. I can't believe you're still posting around here and that anybody pays any attention to you whatsoever after your performance last week. That was some great advice you dispensed about selling covered calls, an insurance strategy sure to work 95% of the time, only thing you somehow missed, which is a little hard to believe since the stock was already up about 10x on the year, is that Q IS NOT one of those other 95% .. Then you compounded your boner by advising people not to cover those calls too quick because she'd surely come down to earth after a bout of early morning euphoria. Well Geez. I wonder how many lurkers there are for every person who posts on a thread like this one, a thread devoted to one of the hottest stocks on the planet? 10:1,50:1. what's the ratio? I wonder how much money in the aggregate you cost those that took your dumb advice? Got any idea?

Voltaire - I have not yet read your post, but wanted to help increase the number of replies to some astronomical number.

Anyone know what the all-time record is for replies ?
