I was hoping you'd capitulate first, my friend. If you capitulate, I PROMISE TO GOD (wink, wink) I will too! Heh! John

Hey Sun, Have you noticed the new Morgan Stanley commercials over the past few weeks? Those predatory ba$tards are stooping to new lows. In their commercials, they are appealing to the emotions of weak-minded folks by using "love of family, obligation to family" themes, and imploring everyone to invest for the sake of their loved ones because they owe it to them. What a crock of BS! Of course, this will get to quite a few sheep out there. One commercial uses very small children, and strongly suggests they will need your investment gains in order to succeed in life someday. "Sure you can stop investing, but it is only hurting the kiddies' future," is the theme. Another commercial uses a middle aged man, who appears destitute and distraught as he contemplates how to pay for his daughter's high priced wedding and other things. It almost makes me say that I wouldn't mind losing everything if this pig would only FULLY, and I mean FULLY, collapse! Heh! Well, maybe I wouldn't go THAT far! -vbg- John
