<take his calculator and regulations away from him and he won't be able to speak.> Hi SL, Actually, anyone could make the same general case as he has been making....with lots of companies, small cap, mid, otc, nasdq...The particulars would change. There would be a matter of scale. Its done all the time. This is no great thing. The only ingredient to add would be ones purpose, motive. In the instance you are referring to, altruism is not the motive...hehehe. This is not a profile in altruism. SEC, NASDAQ, rulings, regs, filings, archives, old news, blah blah blah are easily available all over the www. The lesson here is to take the time and organize a serious and efficient bookmark system with easy folders. Literally, for many purposes, things need to be at our fingertips. I'll bet a lot of otherwise intelligent people have to scrounge around and search with frustration and impatience as their companions because they failed to take the time to organize. I see I might be getting a bit off topic here...but what the heck... Details constitute ones individuality. They also constitute success in any endeavor. Myself, I have always been a dreamer and a romantic. That is my nature, and I never fight it. I assist it and support it with completing small, mundane things....lots of them. These things, the practicalities linked to purpose, often make me happier than the achievement, for in the process of performing them I feel very alive. It's hard to rain on my parade. The internet gives individual investors and traders good advantage and reward these days. It also increases our vulnerability, and our risk. All this entails serious organization and efficiency, and then it becomes fun. Hardware and software make a big difference in terms of advantage, and in easily accessing what we have organized. I have a laptop that goes with me away from home, a desktop pc, two monitors, big screen, 96 RAM, Pentium 266, dynamic quotes and level 2, and a backup isp. All this is just practical. That's all it is. But look at what it can do for us in terms of our dreams and purpose.... Great bookmarks; efficient hardware and software; taking time for small things; patient dd with skillful means.... A new zen student is being shown around the grounds of the monastery by his appointed guide. He is a newbie. The newbie is shown a temple, and the path leading to it is being swept by an old man. The guide mentions that the one performing the thorough, painstaking sweeping of the path is acknowledged to be a great master, enlightened. The student is more than just a little amazed, for why would someone so acknowledged be performing such a mundane, lowly, practical thing...should he not be lecturing instead, enlightening others? The guide replies "The broom is a sacred tool. It brings him closer to the temple, and in so doing you will now see the path yourself." Cute story, I always thought. Betcha the zen master puts on fluffy bunny slippers with long floppy ears once inside the temple...;-) Best, Charliss
