Ah. Ah. It is a GOOD day. JimB has posted 79 times, and he is indeed a rich lode of moronosity. So far, this is my favorite: #reply-4594798 put in a market buy order thru ETRADE when rtq showed .26 x .28 and guess what... got filled at .48!!!! I couldn't be madder than I am right now if someone cut off my leg. Even though I believe that in relationship to where I think the stock is headed I got a good price.. I'm FURIOUS that the MM's screwed me over the way they just did... OBVIOUSLY I put in an inquiry... probably 1 out of 50 market orders have I ever got screwed on .. but this one is the worst!

The list is long (though not stock related) ..... Indonesia is so far in the tank it's not funny. Everyone is up in arms over all of the dough Suharto has stashed (either directly or through his Nepotistic Capital Endowment fund). So, they finally bounce him out and replace him with Habibie, who has a brother named Jimmy....... yeah Jimmy Habibie..... and guess what? He's got more family members running government linked businesses than Clinton has pants w/ lipstick stains on the zipper. There was an article in the paper on how the Japanese nightclub scene is going tango-uniform now that a good number of Japan's Finance Ministers have taken self administered dirt naps. Seems no one wants to pay $250 for a round of drinks anymore. In Malaysia, they are topping off two skyscraper / towers at KL City Centre that are like 1400 feet tall and cost god knows what but they can't keep the water supply going in the Golden Triangle (high priced shopping district). Great shopping though!!
