A weekend of amazing posts. Read and learn. As I read other threads what impresses me is the quality of the posts here. Other boards run along the <news coming out, this is a coiled spring ready to go, just talked to the ceo and fundamentals are right where they should be> variety. Here, its like going to college and learning all about the industry and the intricacies of the market. I am purchasing another hundred shares today to bring my total up to 1350. I am obsessed with accumulating 2000 shares, so I have been working a lot of extra hours to earn the money. Unfortunately I am not able contribute any research to the thread. I am VERY greatful to those who do. I would like to contribute something so I have some information from a recent article on Alexander Graham Bell. It may help pass the time until the market opens. Ten Facts from the life of Alexander Graham Bell 1.He answered the telephone by saying "ahoy". 2.He invented a system by which two messages could be sent over the same telegraph wire (sound familiar?) 3.He invented the iron lung. 4.The Western Electric Company was offered all rights to the telephone for 100,000 dollars. They turned it down. (HUGE BONEHEAD) 5.He turned over his one-third ownership in the Bell Company to his wife. 6.He founded the magazine Science, which later became the official organ of the American Association for the Advancement of Science. 7.He provided financial aid and encouragement to Hellen Keller. She dedicated her autobiography to him. 8. As editor of National Geographic he published the first photograph of a woman working topless, to the endless delight of adolescent boys everywhere (atta guy). 9.During his later years he worked on perfecting the gramaphone, designed hydrofoil boats, became interested in heliocopters and hoped to find a way to convert sea fog to drinking water as an aid to shipwreck survivors. 10.He imagined telephone calls from coast to coast and lived to hear intercontinental calls. On the day of his funeral, August 24, 1922 all telephone communication in the United States was shut down for one minute in his honor, at 6:25 pm.
