I'll quote from Stockwarrior on Raging Bull, as he put it well in reponse to another one like you: You who "work so hard" to get the truth out. Yeah, right. I can see you worked really hard on this one, didn't you. So hard, in fact, that your little brain must be soooo sore... poor little fella. Two minutes work... a dozen or so keystrokes and 3 clicks of the mouse would have told you the following: 1)That Michael Barker is an analyst with National Securities Corp.; 2) That National Securities Corp is a Seattle, Washington-based brokerage and investment banking firm with 43 branch offices throughout the U.S. and Europe, and over 40,000 retail and institutional clients; 3) That National Securities has been in the business since 1947 (so not a "fly-by-night operation by any means); 4) That Michael Barker never called himself a "broker"; and 5) That you are a clueless idiot. Here is my full post back to you which you have neither the balls nor the intelligence to refute with any specifics: ragingbull.altavista.com All you can do is issue mindless one line missives devoid of any real intelligence or analysis. What a waste of bandwidth. No... the irony is that your questions were not aimed at imparting any "truth" to the board, and everyone knows it. Your purpose quite simply was to disparage, to raise doubts, to make irresponsible allusions to non-existing, specious affiliations. There is not one shred of anything substantive in your post. Not one piece of evidence of anything improper. Just a bunch of empty, vacuous questions. If you were really interested in imparting "truth" or presenting valuable countervailing opinion, you would at least take a few minutes to research your position before opening your mouth. There is a quaint little maxim that fits you to a tee: When in doubt, it is far better to remain silent and let others think of you as a fool than to open your mouth and remove all doubt. scubiedoo... that's it for you.
