          So I get out the phone bill...log on and find out I can get Elite for a year at the same price I pay for Express (ATT/Yahoo)...IIC

                "Underpinnings" ain't exactly "strong" they just hide cement blocks!....

                Dear Mr Market,

                I have an observation and suggestion..... In your introduction to the website you mention buying stocks of companies with solid financial "underpinnings". Now I've been a member here for a few years and I never really thought too much about that statement before.... but now I have.

                In Bedford County VA we have alot of folks dwelling in mobile homes aka "trailers".... A trailer doesn't really have a foundation under it, just some cement blocks and metal straps securing it to the ground. Then after setting the trailer on blocks you'll attempt to disguise the fact that your house is simply sitting on some concrete blocks with metal straps.... So you build a facade around the bottom of the trailer to hide what's really underneath. That facade is commonly called "underpinning" a trailer....

                Now I know that the true definition of underpinning is indeed "foundation".... but down here it means to skirt a trailer!.... Based on THAT fact alone, I think you should change the wording in your intro FROM "solid underpinnings" TO "solid foundation"....





                Your #1 redneck, trailertrash fan from the BlueRidge mountains of VA,

                      You were right about this scam/con-artist behind bars.




                      this was her thread and you were suspicious (too good to be true), they got her and here's the story, just yesterday on the news:








                      I thought I'd share since there's several victims involved (I'm one of them); might be good to share and come up with justice.

                        Doug,
                        You spelled "harass" wrong and it took me over a year to figure it out.

                          Billy...I sorta use my own colloquial type language(Like the ... I use the dots... so I don't have to think about what is correct)...Rob picked up on it long ago...That way nobody can accuse me of poor grammar...It is just IICESE.

                                Pete,
                                You're probably right but Doug is so sharp it took you another year to get into his brain.
