<let them invest in QCOM and such nerdy common enterprises, while concentrating on oddities such as gold, platinum, oil, uranium, coal, and ... oh, shorting their housing and subprime lenders :0)> TJ, I note you gave up hunting big game in Nerdsville, licking your wounds, and have retreated to easy meat. Google now at $400 and $111 billion. That's worth a LOT more than NEM. Coal, gold, uranium, houses, olde style money - a skillful parasite can live on the billions of people struggling to make ends meet in that prosaic 3D arena. You can farm them like sheep, fleecing them regularly. You are competing with many others but as with a huge herd of zebras, there's food for many predators. Being lazy and not given to gore and with a sense of excitement at what's possible, I prefer to create things which have never been, and which swarms of people will work to get, providing me with my animal needs, served nicely in the supermarket, Lexus shop, beach accommodation [not too close to sea level though I make exceptions, playing the odds], restaurant etc. Well, I don't strictly produce the new things, I put up the money and they put up the brains. Bomb clubs work for me. I just need to figure out what those good things should be then find the people with the brains to do it. I'm still smarting from the Globalstar debacle where my bomb club partners blew us all up. I couldn't believe they would be so stupid and stick with their ridiculous pricing plans. But they did. I am daunted by my stupidity in not realizing that people could be so obtuse despite many previous lessons. I will be more careful in producing the Quid. The lead and mercury to gold process should be fun too. I need a bit of technical help on my prototype. Mqurice
