I agree with you. It is my intuition that an unheard of stock receiving repeated, timed, big block buying in a venue where one cannot disguise oneself (otc bb) on level II would likely be a single large buyer. Since you don't know me from Adam, therefore, you must rate my ability and intuition as of zero value. I won't disturb you again. sorry

Anthony, regarding adopting children in the Balkans, we learned several useful lessons in Croatia and Bosnia in 1992 - 1995. First, most countries have strict laws about foreigners adopting their children. It is pretty difficult, legally. Second, most of these children won't know if their parents are alive or dead, or where they could be. Authorities will be even more reluctant to allow an adoption when the parents' fate is unknown. Finally, if these babies are Yugoslav nationals (as even Kosovars are) there is no way to adopt them legally without going through the Yugoslav court system. That is clearly impossible right now. I think you would be better off focusing on immediate refugee aid issues instead of adoption. Adoption may become an issue in the long run if there are orphans who have no hope of going home. But don't forget that Kosovars rely heavily on extended families. It is unlikely that many children will be left with no one at all. Keep up your good work and let me know if I can do anything from here. For people looking for more information on adoption issues, call the State Department in Washington and ask for the consular representative on the Kosovo Task Force, or the Consular Affairs Bureau.

Lawsuits against brokers: assistance needed Situation: (skip to #3 if you wish) 1. As many know, I've been in & out of the country and will be moving - in fact the movers will be here later this morning. 2. Need a broker in U.S. to look after the IRA / transfer, etc and going forward and to keep an eye on stock price movements. Not keen on "parrot" brokers. A broker found me. Paper traded a couple and have had the account up for a few months - was supposed to be leaving end of Feb. 3. (a) Recently, "broker" called leaving voice message (I was out of the country) saying "we're selling half position on ZZZZZZ". I call the next morning to check and find out it has NOT been sold. What recourse do I have? Can I sue the broker? The message is still on my voice mail. (b) A few weeks back, "broker" called leaving a voice message saying "we sold YYYYYYY". I had been on the phone that day with several people and by the time I got the message, it was a couple of hours later. It was taking profit. In light of (b), do I have a case for why "broker" did not sell in (a)? I have traded only about 5 companies with "broker", so is it reasonable to say that the event in (b) occuring could be construed as "practice" and it is safe for me to assume that ZZZZZZ was sold ? (c) On a third stock, I was actually around and had the real time level 2 data feed going. This stock jumped up about 15 - 20% in the first hour and half. I wanted to take profit and on the phone "broker" said was selling at X & 5/16. Turns out, when the slip comes a week and half later and I'm away, so call it 2 weeks, I see it was sold at X ie. got screwed for 5/16. Do I have recourse here? (d) recently, "broker" indicated hedge funds do trades at $100 commission upfront and then take 15% of the profits. I believe this is wrong and that it is a % of profits after some level of profitability is achieved - isn't the typical hedge fund something like 20% of the profits on the portion of the return over 20%? Having to check what I'm told on more than a few occasions, a new "broker" is needed. I put out the request/thought a while back to have some persons on SI trade my account - at least on SI, you know the 'regulars' are monitoring their stocks and other stocks. I'd appreciate if anyone could provide leads/links/lawyer names on lawsuits against brokers - if the lead is solid, state so. And if not solid, state so. ie. be direct & upfront -- most of us are pressed for time and for me it's been flight after flight, significant deals been assessed, having to complete tax returns in 5 jurisdictions, and just learning of the death of a close relative late yesterday, been awake for 27 hours now, I could use the time saving. Despite being awake and the death, it's not anger from that channelling to the 'broker' - I've had the thought about suing the broker prior to that point. Again, appreciate any help anyone can provide -- whether it's positive or negative - any feedback is better than none. Thx, I'll try to stop in late tonight or tomorrow - need a new ISP.
