You read a story somewhere of how a kid cruised the internet and hyped a stock, made a bundle and got caught.

You, of course are trying the same thing...the money would be nice but you would really like to get caught and become "hot" news in the papers.

I started a web design company when I was 14 and sold out my client list and my knowledge to another larger company when I was 18. I have traded stocks since. You really wish I were joking about all this, but don't get too far into it, for you maybe humiliated by the truth.

I'm sorry if I intimidate you, but I earned what I have and perhaps that is the reason I don't hesitate telling about it. I'm not going to shove it down your throat, but think twice before you make assumptions about people. And yes, it would be pathetic to make up stuff like this, but I'm certainly not that.

Was that really necessary? We were having one of our rare pleasant conversations, and it was on-topic...
