More circus tales: the Mania Chronicles triumphant return in today's Rap (BTW, this is from Dallas...did Luc finally join the dark side and enter the brokerage biz<GGG>?) The Mania Chronicle hits just keep on coming. . . A regular reader recently sent along the following: "Every month Lincoln Property puts a monthly calendar on residents' doors. Restaurant coupons are usually present. This month, there was a surprise flier from a Dallas brokerage firm." Well, I have the flier in my hand, from Bullish Bob Bagley's Securities Inc., and it says, "Need cash? If you own a mutual fund, unit investment trust or your company's stock, you can use your collateral to get a margin loan." Then it goes on to talk about how there's no setup or pre-payment fee, no credit check, no bank account necessary, no financial statement and you can borrow for as long as you want. The only requirement is that you have to keep a minimum $2,500 worth of equity in your account at any time. So "shylock" and "broker" have now become synonymous. Either one will make you wonderful loans for any amount of money at 15 percent. For those of you who would like to avail yourself of this "opportunity," the e-mail address is bobbagley@bullish.org
