Knowing I should bite my tongue, I simply said, "that certainly explains the four and a half bil reserved for criminal behavior." No way you said that. -g- LOL

Mike, "Knowing I should bite my tongue, I simply said, "that certainly explains the four and a half bil reserved for criminal behavior."' ROFLMAO....as I told you once before, you should take up writing. I don't think anyone has really branded financial intrigue like Crichton(e.g. - Andromeda Strain) has done with the techo-thriller, or Clancy has done with the geo-political/military gee-whiz thriller(e.g. - Red Storm Rising). Sprinkle your stories with your rapier wit and sarcasm like in the above quote, and you've got a winner. Okay, back to what I originally intended to say. Check this article out: rick.bookstaber.com I'd like to read his new book. So far, it seems to have gotten great reviews and it's oh so timely. It's called, "A Demon of Our Own Design: Markets, Hedge Funds, and the Perils of Financial Innovation". Have you read this one yet? Anyone? Craig
