Mike: I was asking a mechanical question. Perhaps my memory is off, it sometimes is. You switched a couple of stocks in your game and replaced them with others, I thought. I just wanted to do that the way you did. If you have no suggestions, then I will just make the switch starting at the beginning of January. I have no intention whatsoever of "deviating from the authors' rules." I am suggesting substituting one king for another. Cha2

A CHRISTMAS TALE "Bob, come in my office," said Scrooge, "and bring your accounts. I want to talk to you." "Oh God" sighed Bob, " He is going to give me hell about my business. " "Bob," said Scrooge, "you used to be a top producer, but your sales have really fell off lately. What's the matter?" "Gee, I donno, boss, I just haven't been able to sell a lot of stock lately." "Well, lets take a look at your book, maybe I can make some suggestions on producing more business from your present customers. You remember the talk at the Bermuda conference last summer about how much business each present customer should produce in commissions? You should be generating $100,000 in commissions for each Million your customers have on account with us each year, and you aren't coming near that figure." "Let me take a look at one of the customers you have there. Now this guy has got a million in Qualcomm that he is up 600% on. How the hell did he get that company? They are not on our recommended list." "That's my good buddy Charlie, he knew the company inside out and I had to sell it to him. He also has 200K in that "Tech Widget" IPO of ours. Do you think I should have him sell Tech Widget and buy something else?" "Are you nuts, Bob? He is down 30% on Tech Widget right now. It would piss him off if we had him take a loss. Now, how have we taught you to handle a customer like this?" "Oh! Yeah. I call him up, and tell him he ought to 'lock in' his profit in Qualcomm by selling. What should I tell him to buy, Boss?" "You know we have a lot of that IPO of "Tech whatsas" on hand. You put him in that, get some other customers moved over to it, and I will send you and your wife and Tiny Tim to Palm Springs for Christmas!" "Thanks, Scrooge! I will get right on it!"
