Yes, I think the Horn Blower could be on margin. BNSO just reported and in my opinion WAY overvalued. CHST and BNSO could crash soon. Wonder if the horn blower sues his broker?

And then will come the second trumpet blast, and God the Father will begin to call forth the souls of the dead, reading out their names from the great book. Some of the first souls to be resurrected will be those of certain very holy individuals~who will now rise again, alongside the Apostles and the Saints. Then will come the remainder of the ordinary~but steadfast~faithfull departed souls; and last of all, sinners.

anyone think that report comes out soon now? "I can emphatically say that my firm does not send out spams," says Patrick Shane, a vice president at Continental Capital and Equity, a Longwood, Fla., financial public-relations firm, using the colloquial term for junk e-mail messages. Continental Capital says it was hired by Creative Host in early May and is still working on a report about the company.
