Bill, my list of things that will kill your portfolio value in order of impact:

5. Playing options
4. Using margin
3. Shorting dell, csco, msft, or any Internut stock
2. Having kids in college
1. Getting sub-divided!

Besides, she's only barely trained you so far.

Lindy,

(Now, if I could just figure out how to break the news to my present one.)

Bend your accountant's news just a little. Tell your wife he said you can now afford a second trophy wife. The compliment might go a long way in your divorce negotiations.

LindyBill,

Hey, that's great news! Now you can cover her with gold (jewelry) and let her admire herself in the mirror over the mantel. <GG>

Ach, trophy wives are no fun. I was one once. Like the Velveteen Rabbit, it's much more fun being Real.
