whoa. That was a way too informative post and it was presented in a polite fashion and with proper punctuation. That just won't do here. Besides, no one here is anywhere near bright enough (Apollo) to understand your post. Other than that, it was just fine. cnk@monosyllabicsareus.com PS Nice logo in your profile, but you'll need to fill out the rest of it if the old farts here are to properly make light of your interests and accomplishments.

LKO, For those that actually read that, there is also one fringe condition that caused Fidelity (my IRA custodian) to send me a warning letter about violating some IRS/SEC laws. For those who really do read, there is a very important distinction between violating a law and making use of your assets in a way that results in tax penalties. One is a function of criminal or civil legal action and the other is not. As an example, if I choose to withdraw funds from my IRA prematurely, I am levied a "penalty tax" but I have not committed a crime. If I violate an SEC law, I can go to jail. Big difference. --Mike Buckley
