Rose/Dealer: Dumb? LOL. Earnings site ... Here's an 'earnings/whisper' site ... in case you or others don't have and might be interested in it: earningswhispers.com Can't vouch for accuracy but I think it's pretty good. As far as this "who's the dumbest woman on Voltaire's Porch" schtick, gets real old, real fast. I was tired of it before I was born (if that's possible -- LOL). I've been tired of it, suffice to say, my entire life. Women aren't dumb. Period. I believe that you mistake the term "dumb" as applied to retail investors of both genders with "fearful," of several aspects of what we are all striving to do here: #1. We are naturally fearful at having little if any control over our destinies ... in life itself. #1A. This impotency in controlling our own 'fate' is greatly exacerbated by the necessity we have in managing our own financial survival. #2. No one among us has all the answers -- male or female. To attempt to placate our fears with "please, somebody smarter than me, help me," equates to "do it FOR me." I see many women in R/L and some on boards 'use' some BS 'shrinking violet,' 'helpless female,' 'fan me, I'm fainting' roles to get out of taking responsibility for themselves in financial matters. You and Rose of this ilk? HA!!!! I think not. Inexperienced in investing? Perhaps. As am I, even though I've been doing this 4-5 years now/one on my own (without full service brokers). Look, 'gals,' don't let your notion of incompetence shadow your brains, okay? That's all I ask. I believe that Voltaire himself, as the 'alpha male' here (who likely may be uneasy about accepting that particular 'collar' <LOL>) would say, "There is no dumb question to be asked on this board." Am I correct in both these assumptions, Volt? <hee hee> Gotta go eat hot dogs at a cook-out on Lake Travis ... hell, whatever's in 'em must be horribly detrimental towards goals of immortal life ... my plan is to kill all the cancer-causing agents with ... Mustard. Happy holiday, folks! 'bonus' or 'boNUSS,' or 'bonstrosity,' or 'The Loch Nuss Monster,' or 'bonstance,' or 'bonnussaurus Rex,' or ... yada yada yada! -30-
