Need Clarification of rule. No Warrants, Options, etc. Does this exclude exchange traded Closed End Investment Companies (eg. Closed End Country Funds) and Index tracking surrogates such as WEBS and SPDRs which trade like stocks. If I can't find enough compelling companies, I may wish to use a closed end fund for exposure to an emerging market country, or WEBS to hedge market risk when selecting an ADR representing a foreign company. I don't want to limit my choices to just individual companies if I don't have to. On the other hand, I don't want to have my entry declared invalid because a Closed End Country Fund doesn't meet the narrowest definition of Stocks Only

Twas the night before crisis And behind White House doors, Not a creature was stirring, Least of all Al Gore. The interns were nestled Dressed in their berets, In hopes that Saint Bill Would come out to play. When out on the East Laawn There arose such a clatter, Even Sam Donaldson Lose control of his bladder. Away to our TV's We flew like a flash. There's a special report And it's pre-empting MASH. And what to our wondering Eyes shoud appear But a homely lil' troll With tapes for us to hear. With a K-Mart bought blazer And a bad frizzy 'do And a tale to be told -- To me and to you. One the chair! On the carpet!! On the Oval Office desk!! With a chubby young intern Who was all eyes and chest. The Pres had been careless Indeed, dumb and dumber. Now the whole world knew Bill had gotten a hummer. And Monica Lewinsky Emerged from the rubble If she'd just kept her mouth shut We'd not have all this trouble. And thus set in motion A whole wet o'spiders With pundits galore And White House insiders. You ask, "Who would care About Bill and his penis?" Republican Ken Starr, And he's armed with subpoenas!!! More rapid than eagles, Process serves they flew! Here's one for you.. And for you..And you too!! "Now Jordan! Now Cockell! Is there anyone else?? Lets subpoena the lawyers And old Bill himself!!! "We want you to tell us About Bill's private life.. And anyone he sleeps with.. 'cept, of course, his wife." And many months later After long we've all suffered, Lets examine more closely Just what Starr's uncovered. We've learned "Little Bill" Has a mind of his own, AND - horror of horrors--- He likes to get blown!!! A funny fact surfaced, After 40 million bucks... jSeems most people don't care Just who Clinton, er,..makes love to. jThe economy's great And shows no signs of slowing. Hell, we hope Ms. Lewinsky NEVER stops blowing!! Now the public's grown weary.. Will this sleaze never end??? We just want to get back To "E.R." and "Friends." Now Monica, Linda, And Ken Starr, you suck -- Get the hell of my TV Your 15 minutes are up!!!!!!!!
