>>>How many times do I have to tell you I have no intention of buying either stock?

Unfortunately, you and I are both already shareholders, like it or not.


Not for too much longer. Be patient.

(NEWSER) – Ron Paul remains the darling of CPAC. The GOP congressman won the annual straw poll at the conservative convention for the second year in a row with 30% of the vote, reports Human Events. Mitt Romney finished second at 23%, and nobody else cracked 6%. Chris Christie and former New Mexico Gov. Gary Johnson got that amount for third place, followed by Newt Gingrich with 5%, notes Fox News.
Bringing up the rear: Tim Pawlenty, Michele Bachmann, and Mitch Daniels at 4%; Sarah Palin at 3%; Herman Cain, Rick Santorum, and John Thune at 2%; and Jon Huntsman and Haley Barbour at 1%. Paul's victory was no great surprise—his followers always show up strong at the conference. To read how he and son Rand won over the crowd, click here.
