as a fellow southerner, i would encourage you not to bash one of our most time honored and respected industries. using some persuasive logic from that hilarious movie, Kingpin... "Smoking ain't bad for you... now who's done more research than the good pple at the tobacco institute....the tobacco industry says its not bad for you, that its harmles... think about it, if you're dead you can't smoke.. why would they lie about that..." Don't tell me you don't miss the glory dayz when king MO was trading in the 120's.... before I decided on finance and investment banking as a career... I was going to go into law as a tobacco industry lawyer or lobbyist for the tobacco institute..... I made the right decision to the extent that big tobacco foolishly capitulated on their attempts to get universal coverage... and the negatives in the law field far overcome the compensation available.. btw: anyone have any thoughts on DAOU... I know what happened today, but I'm considering this for a short term upswing...
