Well then, I nominate you to go in there and straighten things out. You could start with locking up suspect offshore accounts, ya know, just like we do terrorists. If they're found guilty, the US taxpayers get the dividends.
No need to be so cheery about it.
lmao
"The expressed written politial opinions described on this board are for entertainment purposes only..." LMAO @U2.
Wildest market I've ever seen, even considering I recall saying something to that effect a few weeks ago. I know Steve was around, but I wonder if he remembers the market being this crazy in the crash of '29.
Sorry, VIP, but I don't believe there's any force in the universe that can save us from ourselves. They're scrambling to get the right words together, long enough for another hard and fast rally before the bottom Really falls out, just to make sure they got the lion's share headed in the wrong direction.
I'm thinkin' we'll wake one day and realize it was all one big scam, build a fire, and pick up your favorite hunting rock before heading out to bring home the bacon.
...But will it prevent the brokers and mm's from shorting, or creating air shares for liquidity's sake?
If somebody would just find the easy button...
We need a fully automated, totally transparent marketplace. Level two, delayed quotes? Select bans on buys and/or sells? Injecting 10,000 times the float, to create a non volitile and orderly market? WTF?!? Talk of ending illegal naked short selling is a nice place to start, but would sound even better if they started prosecuting these maggots, instead of letting them go without admitting or denying anything. What ever happened to the ol' saying, "Do you swear to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth?" And why are there no more firing squads and public hangings?!???
I might even vote if they'd put some of MY ideas on the agenda.
There I was, long time ago
In the milking pit, cleanin' some tits
It was wet, half frozen and cold
Ol' Betsy's tail, covered in shit
Across the face and upside the head
Never crossed my mind to quit.
Moral to the story: Wipe it off & smile, because life's a bitch and she'll be back around to take another swing at you tomorrow.
Good points, light taper, staggered? Hell, I usually wear them out before I go to those lengths, but thanks for that reminder.
Better stock up on bars & chains also, hard as I can be on equipment.
A bald man with a limp down by the sea told me China's drilling for oil 75 miles off our coast, so I'll be in business. Oil shortage, my ass.
Yep, the end is near.
Nobody can afford subscriptions for nothin', so we should all scrape together what we can and put it into a savings account of a bank that probably won't be there next month.
Yeah.
Right.
Think I'll just invest in round files for my chainsaw, as decorative ice sculpting should be a hot business in the coming Ice Age.
:)
The Scripps bio tech research center being built is just a stone's throw away from this land, so the bare lots should yield a high return. Unless they're wrong, and lose their ass waiting for things to Really turn around.
CBS (concrete block & steel) construction reaches its peak strength at 25 years, and goes downhill from there. Lumber, if properly protected and maintained, will last at least seven generations from my experience, as long as ya keep fresh stone footers under it. And some of the wood creations I've built, I expect to survive tsunami after tsunami for thousands of years to come.
What's that, free shipping & handling?
I ain't got no silver
I ain't got no gold
Fresh gas in the chainsaw
Think I'll make my own
A month or so ago I had a lumberyard hand tell me they were getting swamped, and just today i had an equipment rental employee tell me things are really picking up (three of them working in the back, where there used to be one, kinda told me this wasn't bullshit). They're even breaking ground on the last remaining stretch of undeveloped land along I-95 in Palm Beach County on speculation things have about hit rock bottom.
...Massive construction boom in East Texas, with help coming from at least the neighboring states, leaving a void in the workforce locally, reducing unemployment rates regionally...
Pardon the pun, and please excuse any hint of a bad attitude, but there's a silver lining in these disasters. How many more big banks will crumble? How long before the Mississippi or New York get their long overdue speed bump? When is that island going to pop up in Steve's front yard?
How bad is it? How bad does it have to be, before someone like Greenspan aknowledges we're in a recession? Will they wait until we're full blown into a depression, to announce a recession has just been declared? Will the Lions ever win another game?
The biggest banks are falling like heavy sacks of shit, right along with silver & gold. The recent decline in oil I expect to see reversed with thanks to Ike for a dead center hit on the refinery industry, as premium shot up to 4.39 a gallon Friday afternoon here. And to top it all off, unemployment's probably much worse than the talking heads report.
In all actuallity, none of this means a damned thing to me. I'll keep bustin' my ass and make it just fine, but I worry about the rest of the world.
LOL So easy a caveman could do it.
All it takes is a stick and a stone. Break the stick in half to build a fire, and use the rock to kill something to cook.
I'm tellin' ya, I could feed Billions.
(how am I doing so far?)
I'm pretty sure I could be a community organizer, and I've got the carpentry thing down to a science... But I'm not sure I could bullshit billions of people on a daily basis.
TNRI down 41% today, wish I had the time to chase these pumpers around.
Rothschild crashed the market on the rumor Geronimo had won the war, then bought up England for pennies on the dollar, and made massive gains when they learned the truth and stock prices soared.
I read somewhere that Henry Ford's first auto was built from hemp, with hemp oil as a bio fuel for power. The stuff grows wild in some places, and even better if it's hoed and watered.
It's my guess, they didn't like smoking oil, so they decided to use it in cars.
An ITALIAN BOY'S CONFESSION
'Bless me Father, for I have sinned.
I have been with a loose girl'.
The priest asks, 'Is that you, little Joey Pagano ?'
'Yes, Father, it is.'
'And who was the girl you were with?'
'I can't tell you, Father, I don't want to ruin her reputation'
Well, Joey, I'm sure to find out her name sooner or later so you may as well tell me now. Was it Tina Minetti?'
'I cannot say.'
'Was it Teresa Mazzarelli?'
'I'll never tell.'
'Was it Nina Capelli?'
'I'm sorry, but I cannot name her.'
'Was it Cathy Piriano?'
'My lips are sealed.'
'Was it Rosa DiAngelo, then?'
'Please, Father, I cannot tell you.'
The priest sighs in frustration. 'You're very tight lipped, and I admire that. But you've sinned and have to atone. You cannot be an altar boy now for 4 months. Now you go and behave yourself.'
Joey walks back to his pew, and his friend Franco slides over and whispers, 'What'd you get?'
'Four months vacation and five good leads.'
Sorry, but I don't have a copy of the actual complaint to satisfy yOu..
However, the fact that Mr. Megas has taken the actions he has leads me to one conclusion: he has nothing to hide and wouldn't be stating this unless true.
Any FBI out there reading, PLEASE get this guy a hard copy, Soon.
Please show me a verifiable legal document that supports notification date of authorities in the May/June 2005 and I will post no more to this board.

Punster alert

He

Are we there yet?
So, do you believe the LOT's were created as an alternative to the lawsuit and the financial burden that comes with it?
LOL The first I recall of elections was in the summer of 1976, they blanketed all three t-v channels. Mom kept saying, "I'll be glad when this is over for four more years", while I was thinking, "I hope we NEVER have to do this again". This political machine is being crammed further and further down our throats every time around, and as I grow older I realize probably 75% of the people actually believe they can make a difference by voting. And the rest of them do it out of peer pressure knowing their vote won't count, even if it's not lost or misunderstood. And for the most part, 2/3 of the counrty is pissed off with whoever's running the show at any given time, anyway. Choose the lesser of two evils? I say we put them both into office, so one can keep an eye on the other. Or have a popular vote where we actually get to pick who we want, and not who the two parties narrow it down to.
IMO, the elections are rigged worse than the stock market.
No, Bill, I missed Paris Hiltons address on the energy policy, but now that you've mentioned it, I'll have to go take a look.
My youngest brother up in Alaska was raving about Mrs. Palin putting Ted Stevens in his place 4.5 years ago and refers to her as "The Hot Hockey Mom".
Ah, but therein lies the silver lining...
Big money's perfected the art of manipulation, and there will be a ton of upside when they've shook the trees good and hard.
It's incredible what people can create when challenged. Restoring vegetation sounds like the best plan, although I was thinking we could ring it with lights and have night time bass fishing tournaments... Or swamp buggy races....
Is gold the final frontier for shorts?

edit:
It apears one has to copy & paste this link.
I felt like you, and I did indeed have proof of a NSS, someone would be going to court...
With zero transparency in the SRO's, how would I be able to prove anything?
And I don't take shell's word on anything, as she was still in denial of this NSS practice way back when. I've said it before and i'll say it again... If shell tells me the sun is shining, I'm grabbing my flashlight and a raincoat before heading out.
So with the paperwork sitting at the botttom of the pile in the R/S department of the SEC, I don't see any reason to sue anyone.
If your shares are in street name you have to do nothing other than quiz your broker, correct?
My letter was delivered by a man on a donkey with bumper stickers on his saddle bags from nearly every part of the counrty, so I expect you'll get one soon.
Not sure how those "offshore" will get theirs.
Got my LoT today and didn't see anywhere that they're asking for the Energy Source certs I don't have.
My favorite part, "...including voting and payment of dividends, if any, to represent..."
I'll be calling my broker tomorrow to gauge how the TA's imminent instructions may deviate from actual procedure.
Getting a post to stick on a hot board can be the hardest damned thing. Three sides to every story, and everyone's is the right version.
For this reason, I've requested Paulie Cashews to come up with some ihub posting glue for those posts that just won't stick.
Give the IRP's free accounts with some perks, like krispy cream donuts & starbucks gift certificates to get them to line up.
If the rest of know who we can & can't trust, we'll be able to make more money and buy ihub subscriptions.
Problem solved.
Talk about splitting hairs.
More of the off topic posts should be allowed if they're so questionable, and more of the on topic posts that are deceitful, libel or slanderous should be deleted.
I don't envy your positions of authority here at ihub one bit.
Ya'll should try politiks.
Thank you.
you really should report if you feel the board is not being controlled properly
To who? The ones who won't answer my PM's?
There seems to be some hidden forces at play here.
Sidedraft & KK, I appreciate the input, but I'm not going to start TOSing every post I see that resembles this grey area.
...And I don't use the iggy button to keep my head in the sand.
LOL You failed to take in the context of the thread.
That's no different than someone telling me I should expect to lose every last dime.
It says reviewed, but Ill let you decide...
Well, well... Some of our stockholders seem aweful disappointed this is drawing closer to trading. Downright angry in fact.
They must need a little more time to locate their shares, but three years seems like plenty long enough.
