KT, agreed, I was over-generalizing there. <g>

KT - ...There are rules and the military is a stickler about following rules, even if they are often incredibly dumb rules. Given both rules and orders, which do they follow? Or do they hold a punch card vote in Palm Beach? -g- Regards, Don

To All, I will only be in tomorrow morning. In the afternoon, I have the Series 3 Test (futures). There was a time when everyone in the business either sold or wanted to be licensed to sell futures. Then we went through a period where everyone hated futures, mostly due to portfolio insurance. Now, we are in an odd period where the training officers at at least one major brokerage firm don't have any idea what futures are. Which is why they can say dumb stuff like "you have to own stocks. What else is there?" Lots and lots of stuff. And I am he who will bell that particular cat. Assuming I pass the damned test. <G>
