I want to start off apologizing to the board (which I enjoy reading) for my posts lately along with this lengthy post. I have been very sarcastic among other things which really isn't me and has no place here. While one thing X said about a list of people knowing what is going on (I think everyone knows what is going) I agree there is a list of very knowledgeable people and thank you for enlightening all of us. So it is a slow Sunday for me and give everyone the chance to stop reading this here and go on. This country has been a little strange the last few years to say it lightly. So I'm going to tell you a little about myself and encourage everyone to do the same if they feel like it. I'm 62 years young married for 37 years and retired from GE Aircraft Engines Evendale Ohio. I have a pension and have collected 2 months of SS :) I started investing in my early 30's back then there was no internet you had the local paper for stocks and the Wall Street Journal which I would subscribe to on and off (it was expensive) got it in the mail always day late of course. Waterhouse Securites was my trading company. There was no cheap trade price like today (even free). It was determined and calculated by the stock price and share price. It could run in the hundreds of dollars thank goodness for technology. My first good conquest was a company called Microcom I had $5,000 worth a lot of money then. They made 56K modems (I know what is a modem) Compaq Computer (Who?) bought them out I was worth $16K. I was rich :) This my only penny stock I have dabbled with a few others over the years only with play money. My two main stocks are Visa and Nvidia I bought VISA right after its IPO in 2008. Well this has taken me forever to type, 2 finger guy. Everyone keep up the good work the light is at the end of the tunnel. Oh by the way my uncle from Dallas turned me onto the Cowboys when I was 10 I guess it stuck. Go Staubach
