My dad just threw the confirmations in the drawer. They were generally about 2 inches thick at the end of the year. As I recall they were about 5 to 10K per flimsy. He never said much about any stock, but would say he was at Draper Dobie during lunch and the paper was flying. Mom never said a word. His best investment was 50K shares of Dennison at 50 cents. Showed the rock that Gilbert Labine brought to him to Owen Owens and Owen said, "Interesting, Interesting, but I wouldn't bother." "How come it's all black, Owen?", I asked. He replied "it's melanocratized from radiation damage" "So how come it would not be good, if radioactivity is what you are looking for?", I asked too innocently. (I was 6.) He grunted that is did not mean much. My dad sold at 1.50, taking a 50K pass. Dennison went to 90 dollars. So I have to work for a living. Thanks Owen. To round if off, my mom bought gold at 35 and Shell Oil when oil was a couple of bucks a barrel. She held on till gold was 800 and oil 30 bucks. Made a killing. Dad blew 2 megabucks in the penny market by the beginning of the 70's, stopped cold and never bought another stock. EC<:-}
