Well well Dr. Paisley , Fancy meeting you here, do you have many cases scheduled for Surgery today ? And yes, I'm not sure what happened to this thread but we seemed to have run off the tracks back a few weeks ago? ( Do you think it could of been the Testosterone levels ? I think some of these guys need to pay a visit to Jiffy Lube. Fundamentally, the company seems to be making progress eh?, I mean just in one short month we have gone from zippo, (zilch) up to $ 30 mill in gross. The Magazine is ready to hit the Newsstands...a thousand bucks a page in ad revenue ? is that possible ? Two PR firms on board and Robinson - Humphrey ? Have you ever heard of them ? They must be crooks also ? We should be hearing something on that front at any moment as Grizzly and Floyd are just about ready to spin up their Hard Drive very shortly. tap tap..click ...click Please check in when you get out of Surgery for the latest update ? &&&& Air Kisses..that's me..the friendly ORCA

Fonely Eyed & Fonely Ida shall play Jugband BackUp For The Doctor with the "GET THE NET" chasing thread folks who post long & short the stock...Doc might aim THE NET at will-o-the-wisps if so inclined, too. PICTURE THIS: Fonely Eyed & Fonely Ida look like that So Cornball farmfolks couple in the painting "American Gothic". HEAR THIS: Their version of "There's A Hole In The Bucket" drones on & on as speakers blare a warning: WATCH OUT for Grateful Dead Concert Flashbacks. ................................................................... and now, on to something sensible regarding MLRE: re: target market) excerpt from: "THE MILLIONAIRE NEXT DOOR" (The Surprising Secrets of America's Wealthy)written by Thomas J. Stanley, Ph.D and William D. Danko, Ph.D - Published by Pocket Books Div. of Simon and Schuster Inc., N.Y., N.Y. Copyright 1996 in n/o the Authors. Page 7, Chapter One "Meet The Millionaire Next Door" Begins with... << "These people cannot be millionaires! They don't look like millionaires,they don't dress like millionaires, they don't eat like millionaires, they don't act like millionaires - they don't even have millionaire names!" The person who said this was a vice president of a trust department. He made these comments following a focus group interview and dinner that was hosted for ten first-generation millionaires. His view of millionaires is shared by most people who are not wealthy. They think millionaires own expensive clothes, watches, and other status artifacts. We have found this is not the case. As a matter of fact, our trust officer friend spends significantly more for his suits than the typical American millionaire." >> The rest of the book is an elaboration of the above: fascinating statistics and definitions - I highly recommend it for attempting to understand demographics of the projected target market of MLRE. What is my opinion? Well, I hold some shares of MLRE; giving this one plenty of time before I get my basis back, planning for A Long, Splits, etc. with time & patience. Millionaire Magazine's page design mimics the Overall Look of the proven success of the Robb Report. It doesn't have the toney-toney exclusiveness of some other magazines with the same high-ticket advertisers. It looks just right for a wider market niche, to my eye. Good luck to all however you may trade or invest, Joana
