LOL! Perhaps to his discredit, Bland has never been either to Boston or to a gay bar, so he is not well read in the literature of their lavatories. Bland and his friends derive a great deal of mirth and pleasure from his name, and therefore he must decline to change it. He does use a number of subtle variations on Yahoo, however, which unlike SI allows for more than one alias. Perhaps "Baron von Bland" would seem more authoritative and dignified? Bland uses that one quite often. Or perhaps you might find "Bland After Dark" more in keeping with the fast cars, fast bars, and fast women theme that occasionally finds its way onto this thread. Or, on an more cloak-and-dagger, tongue-in-cheek note: "Bland...James Bland"? For Bland, you see, is often stirred, but never shaken.

death of a Value Fund is the beginning of a steady stream of similar disappearing acts owing to inane, myopic, hidebound, ill-advised, stupid management that represents a climate change hemorrhage Lot of these guys wont be able to cut it now that information is spread so far and fast. They survived on inside info, fat fees, and an ignorant populace. That's changing. A friend of mine is a lab tech and was at the American Cardiology Convention snooping for scoop. He ran into a fund manager who asked him, "What do you think of mutual funds"? He told him he had no use for them. "If I wanted to get what the market gives I can pay $6.95 and buy SPYDRS" End of story. The mgr. says, "Well, your right about that" It's over for these guys.
