Words from MF:

"What the SEC alleges Howard and Verrando did, after all, only makes sense in a world in which a company's executives see shareholders not as equals to be leveled with, but as sheep to be deceived and led. Why would it have been in anyone's interests for shareholders to think that the company was going to earn more in 1996 than it was? Eventually the numbers were going to come out. But short-term run-ups often allow those in the know to dump shares and reap enormous profits, leaving small investors holding the bag."

Could this be true?

Some of you in The Family may remember this old chestnut:

"The fish rots from the head."

And

"Be careful not to drink the Koolaid!"

Happy Holidays!

Bye, again.

Jim

Nanny -

<< I will commit to attempt to express myself in a more loving demeanor, if you will commit to attempt to hear my words in a more understanding tone! How's that?

If you are going to stay involved in this stock, and you know that I'm going to stay involved in this stock, then today needs to be the day that we acknowledge the necessity for tolerance and understanding from everyone on this thread, both short and long. Fair enough? <<

Well said, Nanny. Agreed, and fair enough, respectively... I will try to do the same... please hold me accountable for that.

Merry Christmas, Nanny, and a Happy and Profitable New Year to you.

Loren
