Borrowed from another thread... STOCK MARKET REPORT Helium was up, feathers were down. Paper was stationary. Fluorescent tubing was dimmed in light trading. Knives were up sharply. Cows steered into a bull market. Pencils lost a few points. Hiking equipment was trailing. Elevators rose, while escalators continued their slow decline. Weights were up in heavy trading. Light switches were off. Mining equipment hit rock bottom. Diapers remain unchanged. Shipping lines stayed at an even keel. The market for raisins dried up. Coca Cola fizzled. Caterpillar stock inched up a bit. Sun peaked at midday. Balloon prices were inflated. Scott Tissue touched a new bottom. And batteries exploded in an attempt to recharge the market.

<You'll have to trade less>; and, a question: Hi Steve and Thread: Of course your answer about the problems of undercapitalization is sensible and correct. I will only point-out that sometimes w/less capital, given the objective, you have to trade more in terms of frequency of turning your funds. Also, although you are absolutely right about F, LU GE, etc., percentage-wise on Friday, there were several others that performed as well or better better and are more affordable to us/we [?] underpriviledged, undercap'd folks -- e.g. TV, TMX, HAL, etc. [admittedly, not quite as conservative, but all trade in a relatively narrow range]. The question: If a very successful private company has filed for full SEC Registration [vs. a new "shell"/"flim-flam" OTC-BB], is it possible to buy on the underwriter set price if you don't have an account with one of underwriters? If so, how? Thanks, Steve, and all, for your good contributions here.
