Hi Tom - Well, I thought everything was under control until I read about your buy signals from TWCUX. I hold that one too but I only got 1 buy signal there. Perhaps the standard 10% parameters are too tame. And I do need to go shopping for a small cap fund. La Teenager is now 20 years old and still attending Amherst. She got sick and had to drop out last year. They made her wait until fall before she could reenter so she taught swimming at the local pool. Having her at home again raised the family tension level somewhat but we have settled back into our dotage now that she's back at school. Your stamps are probably worth more on the postcards than off. If the text is interesting or historical there will be additional value. There are price guides for collectors of postcards so you could probably look up values at the library. Like stamps, the real value is in the 19th Century. I have seen high prices on stamped envelopes accompanied by the original letter (often done in calligraphy). Sometimes the way a stamp was cancelled can also be valuable. I have seen high prices on obliterated (worthless) stamps because they had a "fancy cancel." I haven't looked into the rules of that game as yet but I can tell you that they sure look ugly to me. In my spare time, I am still ruminating on banking reform. We're the only industrialized country in the world that has a "float" built into the system. This slows down all our transactions at every stage. Europeans don't write anywhere near as many checks as we do. They have bill paying services called "giros" that do that and keep records to boot. One check a month to their "giro" and their bills are paid. Alas, nobody here seems to give a rip. Oh well, I have pretty stamps to put on my bills. It's great to see what a lively group you have going at SI. Lurking can be a real pleasure even if I don't have any stocks to talk about. Drive carefully... ka
