I believe it was Groucho that said "I'd never belong to a club that would have someone like me as a member" <GGG> I'll consider your kind offer but don't know if I can maintain all the by-laws. PS - Check's in the mail... Regards, Doug

Joe, I like your post to CRAZY Mike. He does need to get a life. I also like Doug's. Mike's discomfort has been unprevoked. I don't want to give CRAZY Mike too much attention, but here's my response <ggg>: finance.yahoo.com This one is pretty good too: finance.yahoo.com Nice going Joe on your picks. Yeehaw! Thanks Bernard for the update. Some of the stocks we keep in the folio actually do go up. Doug's response to CRAZY Mike gives him full club membership with the right to his own by-law (to be decided at a later date). Joe S. take a look at your brokerage statement. Does it reflect any value for your FLAMEMASTER AEROSPACE CORP RESTRICTED SHS? Last but not least, a big Yeehaw on PAL. Why the huge run-up on the price of palladium on Friday? Here's one reason: bday.co.za <Palladium breaks $300 on new car technology -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- By Justin Brown Spot palladium on Friday broke through the $300 an ounce level for the first time in 17 months on the news of new technology that will allow palladium to be used in auto catalysts for diesel passenger cars. Palladium touched $309.50/oz, its highest level since November 2002. "Palladium is up on the news about Belgium's Umicore announcing that it will introduce new technology that will enable palladium to used in diesel cars. This is the biggest announcement in the platinum group metals auto catalyst sector in quite a while," London-based UBS analyst John Reade said. "I've been forecasting that platinum would be substituted with palladium for auto catalysts for petrol cars. I didn't expect platinum to be substituted with palladium in diesel cars," Reade added. The new technology could result in 500,000 ounces of extra palladium being consumed per year, he said. Belgium's Umicore is ready to introduce a new diesel oxidation catalyst technology, which will enable the replacement of approximately one-quarter of current platinum loadings by palladium. This new technology developed by Umicore will provide automobile manufacturers with a degree of flexibility in their choice of catalyst materials for diesel emission control systems, the company said in a statement. This is an important consideration, especially now when there is a wide divergence in the price of platinum and palladium. Umicore's development opens the way for automobile manufacturers to reduce the total cost of diesel passenger car emission control systems. >
