This information can be used to try to attack your computer to hack it.
That's true... and if I ever see anyone try to hack my PC beyond the typical kiddie-script crap, I assure you they will regret it. I know how to protect my machine, and I know how to fight back.
If anyone here believes you are being specifically targeted, contact me privately and I'll try to help.

Cuz, I respectfully invite you to participate in my new thread. I was getting some great trading ideas from your recent analysis of another guru's picks but you've unfortunately been censored. This is your safe haven:

You don't like our calls, our thread GET LOST
With all due respect, Jenna, you did invite us to critize your calls in this thread. I take it you've changed your mind?
Sam
How'd that HOMS play work out, cuz?
Looking forward to seeing your play o' the day tomorrow.
Sam
I can understand why he'd ignore me and my rants... but the beautiful and lovely Poet?? Unthinkable!
Sam
You mean you send PM's to Bob too? Gee, I thought I was the only one and figured he was just ignoring me.
Sam
Which reminds me, if you spin an Oriental person around in circles will they become disoriented?
I am disoriented enough w/o being spun around.

Shall we meet under the bridge and exchange the documents?
I'd settle for meeting under the bridge. You did say you were a redhead, didn't you? 8-}

the scuttlebutt and carp flying around here
I've heard of it raining cats and dogs, but this beats all!
Anyone up for fishing... I mean skeet shooting... no, I mean fishing... oh, I give up.
We Chinese take great pride in our carp you know.
Sam
Did Charlie teach you how to cook
Yeah, but only stir fry. :-/
Sam
Honestly, I couldn't cook my way out of paperbag. I know a handful of things and stick to it. I learned to make Two Hearts Terrine at a class at Disney World, so that one is in my rotation.
Everything else is pretty simple, I think. :-/
Sam
Are you serving it with rice or some crusty bread to sop up the sauce?
Orzo pasta and yeast rolls.
And what is Two Hearts terrine?
In a nutshell, a blend of shrimp, artichoke hearts, shallots, capers, cheese, mustard, garlic, cream cheese, and olive oil wrapped around heart of palm which is wrapped in smoked salmon. The whole thing is rolled with a crust of crushed pistachio nuts and chilled, cut cross ways into roughly 1/2" disks and served with a salad. It is *yummy*. (Mental note, type in recipe later.)
AND what did you and the kids get your favorite mother?
She got a new IBM ThinkPad (a laptop - which also doubled as a birthday gift) and a gift certificate to Home Depot so she can buy stuff for her landscaping projects.
I decided to throw some scallops in the blend too but that's more for me since Mom doesn't like scallops so much.
Happy Mother's Day!
Sam
Indeed, DRIP-less fine... Do share.
Sam
Mother's Day menu... who needs restraunts when you have a 3 year old and a 15 month old to cook?
Today's menu:
Two Hearts Terrine
Baby Mixed Greens with Dill Infused Oil & Balsamic Vinegar Drizzle
Broiled Shrimp with Coconut Curry Sauce
Silken Creme Brulee and Fresh Raspberries
Learned to make the terrine at Disney World (of all places), the shrimp is courtesy of the Joy of Cooking, and the creme brulee torn from the pages of Southern Living I believe. Wish me luck.

PS This thread is a good idea. Thanks JXM.
So you're a wannabe huh? No problem! Our online course is $750 US dollars per month. Contact me privately to arrange payment and your lessons will begin.
Sam
some of the fights were mind-boggling
If they aren't mind-boggling now, I'm sure some in the community could be persuaded into taking it up a notch or two.
Sam
Mmmmm.... aged corn chips! :)
There were some rather pithy comments, Rosemary, but much written that could also easily be forgotten. In a nutshell, a guru went fishing using kumquats for bait, a few fish (including myself) took the bait, a really big fish named cousin shorty challenged the guru to a fishing contest, and the fisherman disappeared. Somewhere in all of that, aforementioned guru took her dog out for a p*ss as well.
EDIT: Oh yeah, and in the midst of all this, Bob continues to remind us that this is a MARKET related chat site; not a site to swap fish tales.
Yeah, WWF Smackdown is definitely better. Once a month, some of the guys on the street get together to watch the WWF pay per views on the big screen. Feel free to join us next time.
Sam
Rosemary, I suggest WWF Smackdown. It comes on at night and the fights are better.

Today I was helping my neighbor lay sod. We needed to begin watering it so someone asked, "Do you have a little sprinkler?". My neighbor, from Wales, replied "That's what me girlfriend said, so I didn't marry 'er, eh?"
Sam
Hello, I'm new.
Wow! And you can type already?!? Kids these days, they sure do learn fast... <g>
Sam
I am interested in hearing other reasons for selecting long term investments such as:
-Stock ownership provides certain benefits to share holders. For example, Disney used to grant free discount cards to shareholders and IBM sometimes offers PC discounts.
-Dividends pay high returns; especially blue chips that pay higher returns than the average money market.
-The stock certificate looks really cool and makes a nice gift! (I'm not kidding! I've taken IBM certificates and given them as gifts to children to get 'em hooked. Disney would be a better choice though.)
-The product or service is a "must have". BellSouth or Florida Power and Light, for example.
-Cheap or free commissions available through share holder services.
Other reasons to add to this list? From the sensible to the ridiculous, I don't care - let me know!
Sam
A director acts as a substitute CoB. You can delete posts basically.
And why isn't Poet one, too?
Why, I don't know what you're talking about!

Enjoy the play. I look forward to your analysis.
Sam
From the thread header, here's the text of the post I referenced. It vaguely describes my long term picking philosophy and discloses my current positions.
Sam
I'm holding IBM and DIS at the moment and looking for others. My long term investment picks tend to be centered on things that affect my life directly such as common services I consume (utilities, for example), brands that my family recognizes and buys (Coca-Cola, Disney, and General Motors to name a few), and retail stores we patronize (Target, Wal-Mart, Best Buy, and Home Depot). From there, I study basic fundamentals and *maybe* technicals w/ respect to a daily chart to determine my entry. When the price is in the ballpark range, I typically just use a market order to get in. From there, I setup a DRIP (if it's available for my stock) and I forget about it.
I am very interested in the products or services of these companies, what they do, and how they're doing. I watch with glee when Disney has a hit animation feature or when GM rolls out a tough new SUV that everyone has to have. (Watch for the Avalanche and Hummer 2 rolling out soon... if gas prices and the economy stabilizes, those things will be HOT.)
All that said, I'm not afraid to use a stock as a piece of meat for trading for profits either. In fact, I'll begin selling covered calls on some of my IBM this summer.
LOL! Well, uh, thanks Reid.
Shameless plug follows...
I've created a thread for "real" investors.

Consider this a pointer to a stock related post.

Um, what's the options advice going to cost me?
BTW, was trying to read McMillan on Options earlier, but my 15 mo old kept sticking "Thomas the Tank Engine: Run, Engine, Run" under my nose instead!
Sam
Here we go:

BTW, I can understand your point about not wanting to participate in DRIPs. Ridding oneself of those partial shares and calculating the basis can be frustrating! However, in my case, I only participate in DRIPs in IRAs where the tax implications should be easy.
Note sure how to kick off the new thread, so suggestions (and help) is appreciated.
Sam
Ruh roh... the heat is on! LOL! I don't usually chat openly about my long term picks b/c most folks here are traders and think buying more than a few minutes at a time is silly. (Depending on the stock, I might agree!)
Anyhow... I got started doing this by being interested in DRIPs. How about I start a DRIP thread and leave it open to general investing ideas?
Sam
Yes, IL, I believe in investing for the long term. In fact, I'm holding IBM and DIS at the moment and looking for others. My long term investment picks tend to be centered on things that affect my life directly such as common services I consume (utilities, for example), brands that my family recognizes and buys (Coca-Cola, Disney, and General Motors to name a few), and retail stores we patronize (Target, Wal-Mart, Best Buy, and Home Depot). From there, I study basic fundamentals and *maybe* technicals w/ respect to a daily chart to determine my entry.

Who's keeping the books on this deal? I want to put $20 on the cuz.
Sam
Have a great weekend and hoping to see you June 9 in Miami at the Seminar.
And you have a great weekend too.
Sam
Charlie who?
Would you settle for a big, toothy smile?
Sam
By the way anyone still holding CA?
By own dd tells me that Tivoli offers better products, so I'm long IBM instead. (Tivoli is an IBM owned subsidiary.) Besides that, I cannot recall CA ever being called by Tim since I've known him.

Looks like Dr.MensaWannabehuman is missing.
He's out there... he's just taking a few days off. All this fighting has probably left him exhausted and in need of hospitalization. We wish him a quick recovery.

Next you'll be telling me that mall hair and shoulder pads get you all hot.
You're reading my mind... but it's the leg warmers that put me over the top.
I guess I feel I'm about to have a full head-on collision with middle age. Time to watch "Breakfast Club" again.
Sam
PS If you get a line on a '81 Trans Am, please let me know. I'm in the market. They look like this:

OMG! What'd I give to be "hurt" like that. Though Lita is my favorite diva... she's a redhead you know and dates one of them fellers from North Carolina.
