Ahhh, Mr.D.... I had expected so much more from you. I am not totally out either... and I could buy a lot more without advanced notice. All I can suggest for you is I hope you do make Millions of Dollars in DGIV, and I hope all of your investments are multi baggers and that none of them take more than a year to pan out. I might also suggest some spelling lessons... People do judge you by the words you type. Usually, all you can tell from someone's typing is how articulate they are. But in your case, I think your talents are lying hidden. Here's a few ideas, I'd like you to pay special attention to: 1. The apostrophe, ['], is possibly the most misused little mark in the history of the language. Here is the deal: the possessive of most words is formed with an apostrophe. [Midge's husband is a nimrod.] The word "its" is possessive, but has no apostrophe. [The female Black Widow spider eats its mate.] If you shorten the phrase "it is", you're looking at "it's". [Screw the market, it's time to go surfing, dude. or It's DGIV's stock price that just got Whacked!] Try and get this right, because you make yourself appear to be akin to Midge's husband if you fail repeatedly. (BTW, it's "CDs" not "CD's". Please try and get this stuff right.) 2. "There" and "their": "There" means 'not over here, over there.' "Their" means 'belonging to them'. [Their camping gear was stashed over there right before the aliens took them.] 3. Rules number 1 and 2 taken together provide you with "They're"- meaning "they are." They're looking for their camping gear over there, and now, they're not there any more!Jack Ja J Ja Jack!
