Ramsey, I am flattered. However, please refrain from making comparison between me and: (1) Your mother-in-law; (2) An 84-yr old lady: regardless how smart and charming she may be. <g> Cheers, Ibexx

Its funny sometimes lucky is better then smart. My mom bought SUNW at 52 pre split because she read about an article about JINI. She had no clue about anything else the company did. Needless to say it doubled. I the genius who owned the stock since 27 pre two splits was getting out because I thought it was getting expencive!

Ramsey, Here's a really annoying story. About 18 months ago I was talking with a guy about AOL. At the time it had no earnings. When I asked him about the PE he said "It says N/A on the AOL quote screen, so I guess it's Not Applicable and doesn't matter." He bought a boatload (I didn't buy AOL until last October). He doesn't/didn't know squat about investing, but he's made a boatload of money. I spend hours every day trying to figure it out... Now that's annoying ! Regards, Ross
