This will work....NOT! quote.bloomberg.com Sounds to me like Andersen is getting desparate, and losing clients by the bushelful. Problem is, the plaintiff's bar in Texas is ultra-aggressive, and they won't give up 'till they wrench every last ClownBuck from AA's cold dead hands. May as well declare bankruptcy now, and beat the long lines to the courthouse!<NG>

A little OT: (ok, very OT) My girlfriend was just chatting with a guy who's a stockbroker in Chicago so I had her ask him a few questions. (she finds these guys on yahoo chat - I don't gg) her: i'm talking to a stockbroker from chicago her: lol me: ooh, i'd like to ask him a few questions... her: lol, go for it me: ask him if he is short anything on the nasdaq ggg her: k, i asked me: i want to hear what he has to say her: he said absolutely not me: he's not??? why not? ask him that her: he said he isn't a speculator me: hahahaa he just likes to lose money for his clients her: i'm not passing that one along...LOL me: ok, ok i can't resist... will you ask him another question for me? her: sure me: where does he see the nasdaq ending up this year? her: he said, tell her that long term investing is the only way to go...the only proven way to make consistent money. her: that is from him her: lol me: doofus her: he hasn't answered the other one yet me: ok, i'll wait patiently her: he said, tell her that is she is so certain that it will end up down, she should write uncovered calls. her: he said, the markets want to grow...that is their inherent nature. her: he said, if that wasn't the case...our economy as it is now, would not be able to exist her: that was what he tried explaining to me... me: did he go away now? her: yeah her: he went to the gym..lol me: that's interesting what he said. i disagree, but it's still interesting... he probably has to go work off some market-related stress
