K..... please correct me if I'm wrong, but I think that Ted said that by next year there will be 147 million people using the internet and that by next Christmas we'll be able to talk directly through our computers to sales people at the various shopping sites. the term "cocooning" was in reference to those people who are currently or will be shopping exclusively via the internet! Guess I shoulda bought some AMZN and YHOO last year! Oh well, hopefully the 147 million will buy CPQs to enable access! El

Check this guy out!!! Borrowed $100k on his Visa card for trading purposes! Unreal!

I borrowed, because my real estate holdings never generated any real cash, after repairs. I own 32 living units. At the end of last year, I had about $450,000 cash (at least) generated from the initial borrowing on the visa cards, after paying back the visa cards. I therefore think that trading can be an extremely profitable activity
