how long has it been for me to say?: brokers are like whores in gray suits after this recent experience, I would say the biggest whores (likely with best suits) are the broker managers, operations managers, and margin managers FARK THEM at my sports club this early evening I got into a brief conversation about certain stocks... I know, give it a rest, JW... I said that some brokerage recos are motivated by their desire to unload unwanted shares on the public... he was aghast, and I said "they call it distribution"... after a friendly exchange, I said "brokerage is probably the most corrupt and nefarious legal enterprises in the USA" we had also touched upon fiberoptic IPO's... the guy thought Sycamore was insane... I said "get back to me in two years, since optic switching is red hot explosive, enough to threaten Cisco"... Avanex and Nanovation's spring2k IPO are the next optic switch IPOs... this niche sector will be the hottest for next couple years hey, no Ralphing on the Porch / Jdub

Voltaire, Request permission ta' come aboard the porch, Suh! My daughter-in law also works for Oracle and loves it. She's a Florida State girl who my son met in Atlanta in the early 80's when he was at Tech (NROTC). After flight school and eight years, he married her on the bridge of his carrier, the USS America, at anchor in Athens during the gulf war...(Ain't nothing like a uniform and a war to get a decision out of a girl!) But this is not about them.... Amy just sent me an email with a very important health advisory. Lord knows V, you are into health. I hope this technique is never needed on the porch, but should someone there take too big a bite o' ham hocks while outta reach o' the RC Cola with which ta' wash it down, it would be helpful to know this remedy... "Two West Virginians were having the blue plate special at their favorite diner, when they heard this awful choking sound. They turned around to see a lady, a few bar stools down, turning blue from wolfing down a possum burger too fast.The first hillbilly said to the other, "Think we otta' help?" "I reckon," said the second hillbilly. The first hillbilly got up and walked over to the lady and asked, "Kin yew breathe?" She shook her head no."Kin yew talk?" he asked. She again shook her head no. With that he helped her to her feet, lifted up her skirt and licked her on the butt. She was so shocked, she coughed up the obstruction and began to breathe, with great relief. The first hillbilly turned back to his friend and said, "Funny how that there Hind Lick Maneuver works ever' time." Apologize to any Mountaineers on the porch. Vrespy, jj
