I think people come here for the visuals.
They say, "Come on Honey, I ain't surfin porn, it's IHUB, it's business".
Is that really Anna or did Paulie doctor it?
why would they want it? they would have no place to store it
who buys a product like that? Man, that's marketing
where's that monkey deal you'll run with your posting setup deal?
no I think that monkey was named Bubbles the missile intercept system, the Russians sent him to space around fifty years ago then the Americans flipped him with strippers and gambling, now he works for the defense department and does Bud Light commercials
didn't know Reagan made a science fiction movie
Doesn't really remind me of the Twilight zone as much as it does that one Star Trek episode where a dude who was half black on one side of his body and half white on the other was chasing this other dude who was white on his black side of his body and black on his white of his body,
all over the ship and into eternity.
Man, that's gotta hurt..
nahhh, you can't get better when you're the best...B-)
Bush won, Iraq will sooner or later clear up and those angry posters are still over there bitching and fighting. It's like a bad episode of the Twilight zone.
A buck two sixty
some dude here at IHUB with a on-line vaudeville act
NYCtoNewPortBeachstockBroKeR, I have the other silly one I picked up about 13 years ago too, that one is my name. Can't win with those 2, I either look goofy or eveyone calls my home. B-)
You and Paulie should team up, Paulie can do the visuals and you can do the commentary, some two sentence knee-slapper.
You fellers could take your tour on the road and hit all the threads.
Hehehe, three sentences, two complete ones.
u trade alot?
Happy mystery B-day Judd. Yeah, yeah, I remembered your mystery birthday.
Short and sweet Fred, what's doin? Dude, you make me chuckle.
Question, have you ever posted two complete sentences here at IHUB?
Hey Fung, was that a real photo of Anna K and if so how do you know?
Wow, interesting place, nice visual aids, does Derf ever use a laser pointer during his presentations over here? Think she found any sand in there?
hehehehe B-)
Never met him nor did business with him, he was a used car salesman who became a broker and was thrown out of the business within a few years of his entry.
I'm a simple man, a Appalachian mountain schooled kid who went to wall street 2 days after graduating slippery rock to see the elephant. Did that twenty years ago and am still in the business today with a record as clean as a baby's ass, I'll let that record stand on it's own.
I posted the article because of it's real interest which is how a two bit Egyptian, non-educated, criminal, self-promoted himself from a simple platform of the finanical boards of Silicon Investors into a multimillion dollar operation.
Gee, if something like that could happen just think of what a beloved, honest, cat-nip farmer living in a Northwestern American rain forest could do? B-)
Me, I'm not looking to bribe FBI agents or anything fancy like that. I'm simply looking to provide the best service at the lowest cost and be bigger than E-Trade.
Thanks One. B-)
Yeah One, what's up with the banning shit? You know how I hate that shit. Take ergo off ban. That banning ain't right, next thing you know people will be banning you and me. B-)
Jury Finds Elgindy Guilty
Of Fraud in Stock Scheme
Associated Press
January 24, 2005 1:00 p.m.
NEW YORK -- A former Federal Bureau of Investigation agent and an Internet penny stock adviser were convicted Monday of mining government computers for confidential information they used to manipulate the stock market.
Former agent Jeffrey Royer was convicted of racketeering, securities fraud, obstruction of justice and witness tampering for leaking details of FBI investigations and executives' criminal histories to Anthony Elgindy, a stock picker based in San Diego.
Mr. Elgindy was convicted of racketeering, securities fraud and extortion for his role in the scheme. He dropped his face into his hands and sobbed uncontrollably as the jury foreman read the verdict; U.S. marshals led him weeping from the courtroom.
Prosecutors said Mr. Elgindy bet against penny stocks and drove down their prices by publicizing damaging information he received from Mr. Royer. Mr. Elgindy also extorted companies by offering to withhold the information in exchange for cash, prosecutors said.
Mr. Royer even tipped off the Egyptian-born financial analyst to an FBI probe into whether he profited from advance knowledge of the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks by selling stocks that plunged after the attacks, prosecutors said. Mr. Elgindy wasn't charged in that investigation.
Defense attorneys contended Mr. Royer fed FBI data to Mr. Elgindy and another trader as part of a free-lance effort to sniff out corporate fraud. They argued the former agent believed Mr. Elgindy needed the information as a starting point for finding out more about companies the two could investigate together.
Mr. Elgindy's defense similarly argued that the trader released the government information on his subscription Web site because he was crusading against corporate malfeasance.
Mr. Royer was an agent in the Gallup, N.M., office investigating mostly crimes on Indian tribal land. He planned to leave the FBI and work as a private investigator for Mr. Elgindy and other traders, prosecutors said. Mr. Royer also thought the trader and his associates would help him pay off tens of thousands of dollars in personal debt, they said.

Always been my favorite read. B-) Jeez Viv, after wasting so much time with haters on RB I almost forgot I began posting on-line to make cash and read Viv's corner.
Matey, I have watched gold carefully during the last 20 years of war, recession, recovery, surging oil prices, surging stock market, surging real estate, 911, market crashes and the only "flight to quality" I've seen is towards the dollar or dollar based assets such as treasuries not gold.
Gold also doesn't seem to react to inflation as we all learned in business 101 because most of the mines have fixed costs to remove the gold from the ground and any upward movement in the commodity price translate into pure profit, hence the mines start cranking out more gold.
I've been hearing about gold since 1981, if the shit actually ever does hit the fan the first thing I would want is water, food and guns with many bullets. The last thing I would want to be lugging around the desert is gold, a feller with a hogleg would get the drop on me taking my gold, water and food. B-)
With that said I still dabble in XAU options from time to time. B-)
Fung, did you know investors were all made whole on Orange County bonds? Do you recall NYC also went BK?

Some good ideas
That is a widely used quote service and it has a link to Silicon Investors.
az, go to tools- messages boards and what do you see? Or right click on a symbol and what do you see in message boards?
They say it's part of the cost of living in paradise. Well, I guess those people would beg to differ. B-)
So far, so good. While on the phone everyone in the rest of the country asks about our "bad" weather here.
However when it hasn't rained in over a year us Californians love rain and pray for it to continue, so what a few houses fall off cliffs and into the ocean, water is life and Southern California needs all the life it can get.
Hopefully we can fill up that lake Meade while we're at it.

And just how much precipitation is Southern California getting? Matey's old stompin grounds, B-)

About 180 Rescued From Cars in California Snow
By PAUL CHAVEZ, AP
LOS ANGELES (Jan. 8) - About 180 people, including some who spent more than 12 hours stuck in deep snow in the San Bernardino Mountains, were rescued Saturday as the latest in a series of storms struck California. The storms quickly moved eastward, closing all three major highways over the Sierra Nevada.
Up to 10 feet was expected over the weekend at the Sierra's higher elevations, according to the National Weather Service.
Snow piled up 3 to 4 feet deep along a 15-mile stretch of highway between the Snow Valley ski resort and Big Bear dam, said Tracey Martinez, a spokeswoman for the San Bernardino County fire department.

Husker, try a couple simple ebay, goggle type logos too.
But then again, what the hell do I know about art?
I'm caught between thinking someone should go out on a boat or a helicopter and take a photo (right now due to do the massive precipitation) looking easterward off the OC coast just south of Newport Beach where the cliffs are. The photo will show, the ocean and palms trees in the foreground and the 10,000 plus foot snow-covered mountains in the background. I could take dozens of these shots and anyone could use them as the IH community picture background, then they could arrange and complete the letters.
or having a simple ebay, goggle type logo which is just colors and lower case and upper case letters,
One, ain't that cool. IDPA shooting in done in most areas of the country. I'm sure there's a local shoot near you. There's around 5-7 bays per shoot which have anywhere from 1-2 stages per bay. The video you have is a short stage so it can be e-mailed, however most shoots require you to shoot 2 or more magazines hence you must reload. The stages are different each week, last week there was a stage where there was rows of airplanes seats and you need to engage the bad targets up front, from a back seat while avoiding numerous good targets in front of you. Many of the stages also have moving targets. All the rules of IDPA are to make it as realistic of a shoot as possible, from the scopeless handguns you can use, to the equipment and vest to conceal your weapon as if you have a ccp, also the course rules are set for you to simply engage the target as rapidly as possible, anyway possible, if you believe running up to the target and shooting it point blank it quicker, then feel free.
The people who show up where I shoot, Pardo (home of the 84 Olympics) are a mixed bag of people. The people who run it seem to be old Marines, army dudes, seals, dudes with bald heads who smoke cigars. Then there is all kinds of cops and federal agents who come there to practice real tactical shooting. You also get Hollywood producers/directors types, whoevers, who bring actors with them (which are more offen than not pretty actresses) trying to get them comfortable shooting and handling real guns in real situations. Then there are a lot of Asians, seems Asians love shooting, seems every shooting event I participate in here in So Cal is full of Asians, they tell me Asians love guns because most of them our first generation Americans and were never allowed guns in the Asian countries they grew up in, God bless them. B-) They generally are very good shooters.
Then there are the best shooters in the country which seem to been regular fellers from inland California who have bellies, beards and wear old jeans. Literary the very best shooters are not seals, cops or federal agents but middle American dudes who look like you.
I'm trying to figure out what makes the best shooters so fast and accurate, I'm sure it's not their diet, their smoke filled lungs or their big belly, I think IDPA shooting is 95% mental and the rest is in your head. I'm figuring 3 more years before I can compete nationally, however check my scores, you can find them on-line, they are pretty darn good for a rookie. B-)
