Yep, and he'd be right, better to rent than to own. With the exception of course of those SSP phenomenal multibaggers!

Welllll Jim, I'm still short (via my BEARX and USPIX funds), lol. I guess it will be really interesting to see how the markets react to the jobs report and delayed PPI on Friday. If the markets take off -- I'll probably short what ever spike it hits, lol.

I bought some SCON hoping that some interested in buying millions of shares in the 2.20 - 2.25 range for a reason. We shall see.

Tried to short UFAB yesterday -- Schwab had no shares for me to borrow.

Tried to short MAMA today at 14.30 ..... Schwab had no shares for me to borrow.

Rats, lol.

WOW Read this....World's Largest Diamond Discovered:

From the San Diego Union-Tribune, March 3, 2004

Astronomers have discovered floating in space the largest diamond known to mankind, roughly 100,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 carats. By contrast, the largest diamond ever unearthed was a comparatively insignificant 3,100 carats.

Dubbed "Lucy" after the Beatle's song, "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds," the celestial diamond is actually a white dwarf -- the cold remnants of a burned-out star.

"What's happened is that it hit the stage where its run out of heat," said Vince Ford of the Mount Stromlo Observatory in Australia. "Whats left is a big pile of cinders and metal."

Gravity has compressed these cinders and metal into a massive chunk of crystallized carbon -- a diamond, in other words. But don't look for it in jewelry stores anytime soon. First, its 2,500 miles in diameter and weighs 5 million trillion trillion pounds. Second, its 50 light years away, or roughly 310,500,000,000 miles.


Bish can you focus your camera on this please, I'd love to see the picture LOL
