How about this one

exchange2000.com

but with the FBN theme

Gimme your stock, it's not worth a dime
The company's broke, just a matter of time,
The sky it is falling, it's already dark,
So the little man sold his to the FBN Shark.

Then slowly it rose, like smoke from a fire,
The stock started low, but then it went higher,
Until everyone loved it, just couldn't be beat,
Fidelity's buying, said the FBN man on the street.

And FBN helped move it along,
Dishing good news like music with every song,
Wow! That bad little stock was all shiny again,
And FBN began all the selling right THEN.

They sold it that morning, they sold it that night,
They sold it to every sucker in sight,
Until somebody noticed and sold right along,
But as usual, most never knew what was wrong.

And one day the little guy ran out of money,
He'd averaged it down 'til his tummy felt funny,
He'd bought it at elleven, nine, four, even three,
And each time he thought the bottom would be.

Now the sad little stock was barely alive,
No one loved it, they all said it was FBN jive,
But in waters off New York, they were swimming again,
Having much fun, never seeing the FBN fin.

So FBN took little bites of that sad little stock,
Till they'd eaten so much that they felt like a rock,
Then they belched out some gas and called it a tip,
Let the small guy bend over and prepare for the FBN ripp.

Speaking of mega-merger activities ... (we were?)

Still haven't made much progress with the remaining 3 of the 5 companies I'm trying to take over ... uh, I mean trying to work out a multiple merger with. The 1st two are still ready to go, and just waiting for the printer to produce enough pre-IPO shares. (Boy, that toner is expensive!)

At the rate 2 of the remaining 3 companies are going, however, the cost of the merge might be a whole lot less than originally projected (not that cost means anything when we're just printing pre-IPO certificates). Those 2 companies have lost 40% or more of their value over the past 3 months. Holy out-of-favor, Batman!

The last I heard, we're still shooting for holding the IPO on the Wednesday before Thanksgiving. That will give the market 4 days ... plenty of time ... to digest the news, and hopefully to kinda' forget about the misalignment between the number of authorized shares and the much larger number of shares outstanding.

I'm sure that Janice over at Skruem & Leevum has a story all worked out for that little miscue. "A slight misunderstanding" ... yeah, that one works ... usually.

Hope you're all well. Just think ... we'll all be rich, soon.

What a Country !

Go FBNA !!!
