Frank. Yes, I am very happy that my grandchildren are in stocks. Of course they have only 12 shares here and 10 shares there, but with CPQ so cheap they were able to get 50 this morning. Well, we did not have grandparents that were into stocks. When I look back I am not even sure if they knew what that was. gg. And on my wife's side her parents were not into stocks either. Stocks for individuals in Europe are just catching on in the last several years. Yaacov is one of the exceptions. I think he started a lot sooner but I am sure his parents were not into it either. I did not get into it until the mid 70s. I am just glad that the kids are taking the advice. My wife is really after them and most have gone that route now. I think the children catching up to my stock holdings. My son in law is a manager and gets stock options and you know how that works. And most of them have pension plans now. When I was my grandchildren's age I was watching an occasional train come by in Texas. That used to be the greatest thrill. I guess it was then when I decided to study and then go see the world the Navy way for a while. My father had been in the Navy and back then like father like son was in. gg. But who thought of stocks? My nest egg used to be Savings Bonds. Sonny
