Hey, mistakes happen. It's a lot like when customers thought they were buying insured CDs at a bank and, instead, they were buying unsecured notes of the bank or S&L holding company. Once the bankruptcy hit, they discovered the difference. Of course, if bank CDs are 8% and somebody offers you 13%, you ought to ask a couple of questions. <G> And it's like when my clients make a deposit and the money ends up in my personal account. <VBG> That is a major joke, as the firm won't let me near the money. They won't let anyone else near it, either, but I take it as a personal insult. It reminds me of when ex-President Gerry Ford became a director of Shearson. Shearson took him and other VIPs to the vault, but they had to remove their jackets to prevent shoplifting. <G>
