Hello, Peter. Long time. Now, why on earth would the first thing that hit me about that article be the words "ethical quagmire"? Joe will probably view that article as complimentary, like he viewed the article written by one of Cramer's people. Of course, any power-mad fanatic like Koresh or Jones would love this type of free publicity. But no matter how much that article presents him in a bad light, there is one line in there that will have people dropping their ethos relative to what is good for society. Some guy, in all that sewage, said he makes $2,000 a week. Boom. Dollar Signs. Where do I sign up? This fellow obviously comes from a background where moral principles are rather loose. The concept that he was a lawyer some place in Asia makes one wonder what possibly could be the requirements to be an officer of the court in such an environment. The ability to shake people down? He summed his character up himself when he spoke of his chosen vocation: “penny stocks always go down. That's why they are pennies.”
