You should'a been in bed. Yawning like that in somebody's ear is SO rude.

And playing baseball with no adults to help kids with the rules of the game. Back then, baseball was
not a psychological group learning experience-it was a game.
That I think is the saddest loss of the whole bunch.
And the most costly, in the long run, to society.
Where today do kids learn to get along on their own, to create, to cooperate, not because adults make them, but because it's in their best interests to learn to do so themselves? They don't.
We will pay for this as a society.

And my sentence used correct grammar.
Sorry, you're wrong. Your sentence was:
" I guess writing sentences that make sense come with youth and ambition."
Writing is your subject. It's a gerund -- ever heard of those? It takes "comes", not "come" as a verb.
You apparently made the mistake of thinking that "sentences" was your subject. It's not.
Back to 9th grade English for you.

You're too young to be listening to QB's Finest, and you shouldn't know what a brick is. That level of drug knowledge is inappropriate for a youngster like you.
Where is your parental oversight?
Edit: Oh, and bye-bye. See you in a month.
2nd edit. I assume you aren't using brick in the sense of "shit a brick." That slang is much too old for you.

I don't know Stilwell. Should I?? I did notice the roughly 1/3 ownership, but didn't recognize the name.
As to the debt, they've been buying companies, so that might be it. I'll take a closer look at that. Thanks for the tip-off.
I've been watching FDS, too, but as you say they're too price right now.

Our stock club took a look at DST Systems (DST) this morning. Looks interesting.
It provides software and financial services to the mutual fund industry. It's a good sized company, sales of 1.6 billion, market cap running between 5 and 6 billion. But not so big that it can't grow.
The stock price has pulled back from a high in late 2000. I t jumps around a bit, so it's probably possible to pick it up at a bit lower than the present price. Earnings growth has outpaced sales growth, which can't continue forever. Sales growth has been about 15% over the past several years, quite steacy growth. If you project sales growth of only 10%, and assume that the high PE will drop from its average of 42 down to the mid 30s, you still get an attractively priced stock. The analysts are forecasting earnings growth in the 18% range, but of course they're almost always high. But the stock seems to have a ways to run.
Their cash flow per share is well above their earnings per share, so they have the free cash to finance growth. They're sitting on about 85 million at the moment. They also have large stakes in CSC and Stte Street, which combined are worth well over $1 billion, or close to $10 per share right there.
Anybody have any thoughts on this stock, or know anything about it?
Or course, do your own DD and never buy just because you read about something on an investment board!

Hey, that's what we're here for.
Bob is making lots of changes, but all for the better when the bugs get worked out. So glad to help.
Did you decide to leave the chart links off, or turn them on? With DSL or broadband, on is probably fine, but with dial up, off is really nice, and I can decide which ones I want to send time downloading.

In your settings, do you have it set to not show charts? I have that setting to save the time of loading charts, and it shows up as Suppressed Chart Link. But if I want to see the chart, i just click on the Supressed Chart Link and it comes up.
Saves a lot of time wasted on a 56K modem, but I can see what I want to.
That might be your situation.
Edit: Tools/My Settings/Show Embedded Charts, toggle is on/off.

I'm believing every bit of that except the 15 minutes. Heck, it takes you 15 minutes just to get that backhoe cranked up!

So, I feel a knot in my stomach anytime someone is talking about a penny stock and they say
"They're going to finalize a lucrative contract any day now. Just ask them."
Heck, I feel a knot in my stomach any time anybody is saying ANYTHING about a penny stock.
Systems to pick penny stocks are, IMO, on the same level as systems to pick winning lottery numbers. About as well based, and about as successful.

A man mostly after my own heart! FH is my favorite, too, but as you say wickedly difficult. I'm hoping to get my chops back in when I retire, but I'm not sure I'll have the time for it. I may concentrate on my other instruments just because the time commitment to get back to performance level is lower.
Hmmm--wonder whether when you plan thehuge 5th year anniversary bash for IH we can get a little ensemble together to entertain the troops?

Edit: Oops, alex, sorry -- thought I had posted as new, not as response to you.
Bob, this is really weird.
Signed on on my home computer #2, got the large font again. Went to Interface, restored defaults, saved, came back, went into the thread, selected the first unread message, same problem. Went to the ibox, it came up normally. Went back to the later messages, came up bold.
I don't understand it. No reason you should, either. Randomness is the hardest thing to debug, i know.
I guess i'll just live with it going back and forth between regular font and big font.
There are worse things in life.

Damn computers.
Why can't they do what you want them to do instead of what you tell them to do? <g>

Bob -- Came back to IH after a few hours away, didn't close Netscape, but bang, now I have the Matt interface.
You did something! Isn't it nice when you get things to work right?
You're going to hate this, but looking at it whole screen, I actually like the default better. But I don't dare try to change it back now without your okay!
I can certainly live with the Matt interface if you had to do special coding to make it work.
If I can try changing back to default, let me know and I'll try it.

Bob --
I'm not getting the yellow Matt's background on my Favorites or thread pages on either of my computers. So it would seem to be an IH interface issue, not a computer specific issue.

Probably kill me a few years earlier than drinking the

Trust me, when you hit 50 you'll start to care.

Just signed on from my office computer.
the interface is the standard, not the Matt.
The type face is normal, though, not the larger bold.
Win some, lose some. <g>
Edit: When I go to the My Interface page, it comes up in Matt. go figure.
___________________________________________________
The cheaper the paper, the more important the information. Peter Lynch.
Matt's is probably nicest for me, but the main thing is to get rid of that bold face type, which really is the larger type face. No idea why it does that, but is still does.
___________________________________________________
The cheaper the paper, the more important the information. Peter Lynch.
Nope.
Went to Tools/Interface, it was on the matt interface there, but I reclicked on that, then on Save changes, then on the Favorites on the toolbar. Came back as the standard interface with the increased font type.
Maybe I should just bite the bullet and go to Netscape 6.x. But aren't they doing a lot of sales junk on that?
___________________________________________________
The cheaper the paper, the more important the information. Peter Lynch.
No. I'm not using the Back button.
Maybe I should clear the caches.
Edit: But I can't find the option for that. Hmmm.

Help!!
After the last message I thought maybe if I exited Netscape and came back, that would solve it. So I did. But it came up with the old large/bold text face problem all over again! I know you haven't dumped CSS because it has the lines in the menu bar.
So I went to the interface and restored defaults and saved changes, but it's still the same way.
Egad. What is happening here???

Bob --
Thanks for giving the bottom bar back!
I went to the interface, switched to Matt's Fave since I like the light yellow, saved the changes, but when I go back to the site it comes up in the default colors. Do I need to do something else to make the change, or is this a Netscape 4.x issue I should just live with? Or might it come up right when I reboot?
Not a biggie -- but just something you might want to be aware of.
___________________________________________________
The cheaper the paper, the more important the information. Peter Lynch.
No, but things are sometimes normal and sometimes not, it seems randomly.
What works for me if I need to do it are the Ctrl-] and Ctrl-[ keys, which enlarge and reduce the type face on the whole page.
That's the best I can do.

So let's argue about something here Bob.
Okay, here's something to argue about.
Resolved: IHub should add a condition to the TOU limiting participation to people over the age of 30. Anybody under 30 is just too immature and too inexperienced to participate intelligently in stock discussions.
Is the motion passed?
