I remember a lot of people making money in the 1990s. I made up to $50,000 a day during some of the wildest times. I was not the best trader I knew. TP

Jim, There could be something fishy there. Global attracted a strange fluff crowd. One exec kept stopping by my firm so much, that his nickname became corporate stalker. He wanted to get involved in my firm. But the nickname he has earned in the comm industry is worse, unfit for print. He was friends with Global's CEO, who I believe is now in jail. He wanted us to meet Global's CEO. The noise-level from the guy was enough for me to avoid the likes of them. Comm business isn't that big, one more or less can figure out how people tend to come together on early stage deals. As such, I believe it is most interesting indeed that Terry got into the deal because Terry doesn't fit the typical profile. Smacks of something from inside the government. I realize this is a strong opinion that could be grossly wrong, but how could anyone have not seen the flashing "warning" hazard sticker on their foreheads? Either there's something wrong with Terry's judgement, or pure greed superseded good judgement. Am a hardcore Democratic liberal, but absolutely cannot stand corruption from any party. This type of stuff needs to be pushed out of our industry. A final comment on the exec that kept stopping by my company. One evening, when leaving a grocery store, there was this guy in a Jaguar rudely honking his horn at me to go, never mind the fact a car was crossing my path just as he was honking his horn, so I'd have gotten hit. Turns out the guy honking his horn was him. There are some people who consistently seem to give out bad advice. He seems to have left the comm business. This downturn has been good - it has squeezed the greedy people out of the industry and kept the ones that like communications for what it is. Regards, Amy J
