Interesting that you would bring up lambskin. Such a barbaric custom and full of ritualistic symbolism. Have you perhaps been involved in the business of skinning lambs?

Druss, I am a little curious how Boiler Room Discount Brokerage views the proposed margin changes. nyse.com Translation...BRDB has screwed me every time I turn around so what can I expect under the new rules?? We had a rainy weekend so I barricaded the door and hung garlic around it so that the wolf wouldn't disturb me. I read a few prospectus and a few filings from recent plays and some other 'hot' stocks. When you actually get down and read some of this stuff and look at valuations, a whiter shade of pale takes on new meaning even though, in some cases, I was was long only days (hours in one case). I won't even mention the filings on the things that I shorted or am short. It became obvious that no one else was reading the filings either. If they had, they wouldn't be posting things like...TO THE MOON...THIS ONE IS GONNA FLY and the usual drivel. Sooooo...... I want to propose another rule change that will really help the herd investor since reading seems to be too bothersome. *I propose that the SEC require scratch'n'sniff* strips on all prospectus and other federal filings.** This is technology that is readily available and doesn't cost too much. I think it should be applied to 'certs' as well. Think of the time it would save!!! Just scratch'n'sniff. Does it smell like something that should be bottled and sold? Or do buzzards gather when the strip is scratched? What do you think? lee
