"Bull Suit"
A big-city lawyer was representing the railroad in a lawsuit filed by an old rancher. The rancher's prize bull was missing from the section through which the railroad passed. The rancher only wanted to be paid the fair value of the bull.

The case was scheduled to be tried before the justice of the peace in the back room of the general store. The city-slicker attorney for the railroad immediately cornered the rancher and tried to get him to settle out of court.

He did his best selling job, and finally the rancher agreed to take half of what he was asking.

After the rancher had signed the release and took the check, the young lawyer couldn't resist gloating a little over his success, telling the rancher, "You are really a country hick, old man, but I put one over on you in there. I couldn't have won the case. The engineer was asleep and the fireman was in the caboose when the train went through your ranch that morning. I didn't have one witness to put on the stand. I bluffed you!"

The old rancher replied, "Well, I'll tell you young feller, I was a little worried about winning that case myself, because that darned bull came home this morning."

NO,

Go with it. Find yourself a company that's making a future and help it along. Believe me you will feel much better with a real investment like RMTR* than you will standing at The Bus Stop waiting for another ride.

Real investment? LOL!

RMTR is down another 11% this morning (and that may not have been the low -- the markets are back into positive space).

Please, please, please get out of this RMTR dog before you lose everything!

Someone's judgment is clouded, methinks! As a self-described mom & pop, even you should recognize the warning signs! Can you say "freefall"?
