This might be a bit of a stretch but wasn't Vince involved with horses at one time. I want to say that he owned one or more.
I found a Donald E Hughes associated with horses.

Unfortunately I think that's very doubtful. The batch of rose colored glasses that PCBMers have must have come with koolaid.
[Suppressed Sound Link]
Churak, are you the posting police????
J/K!!!!!
[Suppressed Sound Link]
I went back and edited my post.....he's not so new after all but he has posted on a ton of boards in his short tenure on RB.
[Suppressed Sound Link]
I don't have a current pic available right now Colleen, but I have tons of my puppy!
As for weights, yes I do but not heavy ones!
If you really want to see what I look like I am supposed to be on TV but I don't know when yet. It was originally supposed to be aired in December but I don't think it was.
The show is "Crossing Over with John Edward" ....ever hear of it?
I guess I should now prepare myself for the onslaught of jokes that are associated with John Edward!
[Suppressed Sound Link]
NY banks are funny like that Pete!
[Suppressed Sound Link]
He's not even "new" either. I think he's new to posting on PCBM but he's been on RB for awhile.
edit: (I love this feature) He is pretty new to RB, 1/6/03. I thought last night when I looked he was around for awhile.
[Suppressed Sound Link]
money to buy their sig others that Vette they have always wanted, etc.
Churak, you and I are going to hold the record for destroying the most keyboards! Me, from spitting coffee when I laugh and you......well.......I won't get into that!
Now I will do my Helen Reddy impersonation! I AM WOMAN, I AM STRONG and I have money taken directly from MY PAYCHECK into a secret account. It's not much of a secret though since the bank statements come here! Just the amount in it is a secret.
[Suppressed Sound Link]
I guess it's not so secret anymore, huh Colleen? I kinda let the cat out of the bag.
It's my rainy day fund. One never knows when we might get more rain than we can handle!
And....ouch on the tea!
[Suppressed Sound Link]
I figured you probably had posted it Huck because it seems as if you have found just about everything there is to be found about this whole mess! I guess I must have missed it.
Question.....if PCBM was really dissolved, how is it still trading?

Somebody named Admiral Thrawn 1 just posted this link on RB
http://www.sunbiz.org/scripts/cordet.exe?a1=DETFIL&n1=P96000100693&n2=NAMFWD&n3=0000&...
I don't know if Huck already posted it but was PCBM dissolved back in October, 2002?
[Suppressed Sound Link]
Ouch! I guess that's good advice!
[Suppressed Sound Link]
I think it's time to go back to my natural color. Ya think?
[Suppressed Sound Link]
AK, If I used my other card and punched in $800 it would have told me that I couldn't take that much. I would have tried again and hopefully punched in $80 that time and I would have gotten my money and been happy.
[Suppressed Sound Link]
Bob,
Do people know about it? I only knew about it because I read this board. Maybe you should send out a mass PM to let everyone know that it's available.
If there are people like me who try to read posts while at work, that "Mark the last post as read" button is great!
[Suppressed Sound Link]
I did something really blonde today and I should be embarrrassed to post it.
I went to the ATM to take out some money and I couldn't decide if I wanted 60 dollars or 80. I finally decided on 80 and as the money was coming out of the machine I realized it was a lot more than 80 dollars.
Well.....I punched in $800 instead of $80! This was my secret checking account so now I have to actually go into the bank on Monday to put the money back in!!!!
If it was my other bank they only let you take out a maximum of $400 a day.
[Suppressed Sound Link]
It was supposed to be a facetious question AK!
[Suppressed Sound Link]
Nope....I try not to drive in snow!!
[Suppressed Sound Link]
Who would ever ignore you Churak?????
[Suppressed Sound Link]
I'm sure Matt already knows about Surfit. He would probably last about 5 seconds over here!
[Suppressed Sound Link]
I don't know the rules of leadership but I thought you could delete people too. I guess you can give Matt the word and he will throw them in jail.
Looks like I gots to be on my bestest behavior over here.....new sheriff in town!
[Suppressed Sound Link]
Me again Bob!
I just read your e-mail and got a real chuckle out of your number 1 scenario!
LOL
[Suppressed Sound Link]
Thanks Bob....I first tried to save it as a Word document but it wouldn't let me. I figured taking a picture of it was worth a try. I almost sent you the wrong picture though....I took a bunch of puppy pics too!
I will change my colors and report back. It's nice to know that I have not gone completely crazy......yet.
edit: I changed my colors and it's fine! Thanks again!
[Suppressed Sound Link]
Hail to Boris, our new leader!
Lead away!!!
[Suppressed Sound Link]
LMAO! Hot ain't it?
<ggg>
[Suppressed Sound Link]
Time for me to go.
Have fun guys!
[Suppressed Sound Link]
Churak!!!!!
What kinda girl do you think I am!!!
Check your mail Toots!
LOL
[Suppressed Sound Link]
Sure.....what's your e-mail address. I'll send you the same one I sent Bob!
[Suppressed Sound Link]
I like that one too! I just sent it off to 7 people and now I wait for an important phone call.
[Suppressed Sound Link]
Churak......you are incorrigible, but funny!

From a board on SI
http://www.siliconinvestor.com/stocktalk/msg.gsp?msgid=18488329
Win-Lose-Draw,
do i understand this correctly? JAG and its ilk want to essentially require regualar shareholders to hold certs while maintaining the company's own ability to pump massive quantities of electronic shares through the DTC clearing system?
I don't think that's quite correct. I believe that the small companies want ALL trading in their stock to be performed via certificates, through their transfer agent (or their own executives, were they to be self-transfer). The aim is obvious. Without book entry of shares, it would be virtually impossible to short a stock where certificates were required to trade in that stock. The theory is that no investor holding the stock long would lend their physical certificate to some trader who intended to short the stock via the selling of the borrowed physical certificate, even if there were proper "paperwork" backing the loan transaction (for legal purposes). And a "short-against-the-box" strategy also becomes impossible. Since most of these small companies are not optionable, a speculation wager against the stock price via options is also impossible.
Of course, the fallacy of the proposal (which is in essence to eliminate shorting of the equity, either through options or a direct short) is that an important factor in the check-and-balance system of efficient market pricing would be removed, and in theory, the unshortable stock could rise and rise and rise again on nothing more than wanton speculation, presuming that no one sells into an ever rising stock price. No one, that is, except for those chosen few people who can always acquire additional stock at below-market prices.
There is nothing to prevent corporate insiders from issuing new certificates that benefit their own interests (or related-party interests), to be sold (with an appropriate certificate, of course) into the hyper-inflated market price.
Retail investors might also find themselves facing yet another obstacle. If and when the investor decides to cash out, s/he cannot simply call their broker and sell. The certificate(s) must first be brought to the broker, administrative paperwork performed, and then sold. In a fast moving market, the delay could be extremely costly. And in a fast moving market, the spreads are likely to widen enormously, presuming that somewhere, there exists a market maker willing to make a market in a stock that requires physical certificates before trades can be accomplished. And then there's the not-so-small matter of the three day settlement period, which I won't go into here...
A great scheme, if I do say so myself... An investor would have to be a complete and utter fool to be speculating (long) in any company that would shield its stock in this manner. But, as the old saying goes, there's another fool born every minute... (Or would it be more correct to say that a fool and his money are soon parted... <LOL>)

Every year I say I'm not gonna buy a box but I always do.
I have Oakland 9 and TB 2
Sheesh! I woulda had a better shot buying 200,000 shares of PCBM!
[Suppressed Sound Link]
Thanks again again Rick! I just sent Bob an e-mail with a pic attached.
[Suppressed Sound Link]
On second thought......I'll pass on it Pete!
[Suppressed Sound Link]
I didn't hit the "respond to" button because it's to anyone!
I have a Super Bowl box......anyone interested?
Sucky numbers though!
[Suppressed Sound Link]
Pete,
Where is that board? I have to check out what has gotten you so crazy!
I don't think I will post on it though....I'll just look!
[Suppressed Sound Link]
He's already "in good" with me! We're buds from way back!
