Mephisto: <<I don't know who the characters are. Thought Berg & Galt shared same body too. Unsure. I read Atlas Shrugged years ago. Yes, Galt was a character.>> Mephisto, naughty on you. Know that the Mighty Galt is all knowing and all seeing. To go to another thread and betray the holy ones is cowardly. Know that Father Terrence and I are quite unique individuals. It is only from your blurred perspective that we appear alike. <<If you didn't read Rand, I don't think you missed anything. You saved yourself money & time--her books are lenghty! >> To have read Ayn Rand and not gained anything is revealing. Perhaps a re-read may do you some good, Mephisto. Afterall, your perspective may have changed in the interim. John Galt

Mephisto, I have been buying stocks since 1980. My first stock was Walmart. I sold it after about 1 year thinking that I was really slick doubling my money. Ouch, if I would have just held and went fishing for 17 years, it would have turned into about $2,000,000. But I did make about $50,000 on it over the years. My worst pick was female condoms by Wisconsin Pharmacal. I was sure women would buy them like crazy for Aids protection because men are irresponsible about wearing condoms. I lost $30,000. They squeaked so women didn't like 'em. Del
