I know I am a latecomer to the board... maybe I could get a half-share of the untold millions? Loved that inane post, especially the fact that a lot of the INFE pod people seemed to take it seriously. <<<<I believe that they earn serious amounts of money based upon the success of the attendant brokerage firm, and the particular stock shorting campaign........ (I will/cannot name the firm for legal reasons.) >>>> Wow, we are piling up such great hypester techniques... I hadn't seen that variant yet: accusing a person (or group) of actually being part of a brokerage, only "I can't tell you the name because of legal reasons." Or maybe because it's a total lie and they would sue your ass off? <<<They really don't try to hide anything and I would suggest anyone could figure this out.>>>> I love this twisted logic: the "scam" is so honest it must be a scam! If this guy figured the truth out, trust me, anyone could. Yours in papal blessings, L.E.

Dear fellow fiend, I have been in MAJOR work mode all weekend (my other job - the one that pays me). Furthermore, I will probably be working all night! Oh, goodie! Anyway, I read Dixie7777's post earlier and had been depressed ever since. As I was moping along, I thought I was the only one of the FBN officers who didn't get my share of the money. Now that I hear you didn't get any either, I am slightly cheered! Sorry, Kevin, but I am confident you and I will be greatly enriched by our prestigious speculative investment! Ta ta, Norma

Would you like for FBN "Investor Relations" to handle this little matter? We can be on the B-52 and in the air inside an hour, assuming Janice filled the tank when she was done. I assume the Chicken will be joining us again. It's scary (and more than a little nauseating) how much he enjoys his work. I don't think it's necessary to involve the Executive Board in this little fiasco. Yet.

I'm calling my bank first thing in the morning to see if anybody's made a deposit. Dunno, though, you really can't trust those M&Ms.

FBN's April Fool's Day (which, for the benefit of ICVI and INFE investors, means "fictitious") IPO was a lighthearted attempt to poke fun at how easy it is to throw caution and common sense to the wind and invest in a stock "everyone else" seems to think is a "sure thing". How ironic that people reading a fictitious post by a confused person are so quick to condemn a group of people without ever having heard of them or read anything they have written. At least we'll never run short of material (gg). - Jeff
