It is rare I participate at the Raging Bull
boards over at Lycos. I do cruise through
some selected stocks looking for information,
maybe something new, something I missed,
anything of value. When it comes to making
money, hard work and effort pay well.

It is my choice to not participate over
there because of well known problems.
Most people are decent enough over there,
but there are quite a few with whom I would
rather not engage in dialog.

Lately, I have noticed another stock message
board is being advertised over there, using
many popular stocks here as a premise.

Eventually, their advertisements over at
Raging Bull will pay off, but I tend to
doubt this other message board will enjoy
the earned dividends, the new customers.

It is unfair of me to speak for Bob Frey
and this is not my intent. What I write
here is strictly my own opinion and should
not be considered a reflection upon our
boards here at All Stocks nor upon Bob.

I have a request of all readers. Please
give thought to not promoting All Stocks
at Raging Bull boards. I have not read
any mention of All Stocks other there.
Personally, I would rather not read any
mention of All Stocks at Raging Bull.
My feelings are some of the posters over
there are probably not the type of people
we would want here.

I know, reads snobbish, condescending and
all that. Nonetheless I suspect there are
quite a few here who will agree with
what I write tonight.

Give this some thought.

But since coming across this message board, you have sparked my interest in the site. I'll even see if they can resend me my username and password.

I do read a little bit there but focus
on developing lists of ticker symbols
to research on my own.

Absolutely! I visit every stock related
site I can find. Takes hours and hours
to do this but sure pays off well.

Information is money, in this game.

Might seem I spent a lot of time here
annoying people with my constant babble
but I am really online a lot researching
lots of sites and periodically drop in
here to stir up trouble, for a break.

Most of the Raging Bull illegal aliens
seem to be confining themselves to very
select threads, where the pumping keeps
them hot and bothered.

Some seem to be learning from the more
seasoned investors here, which is good
for them, good for all.

Then there are those like us!

GAK!

Speaking of an Andy Warhol effect and
boys reading bathroom stall walls, do
you remember when gas stations offered
full service and the bathrooms were
Warhol decorated with several condom
vending machines? Most unique and made
for great reading while washing your
hands, well, for girls who know to
wash their hands, afterwards.

I would pay big bucks to have some of
those condom machines. Great collectables!

I noticed condom vending machines in bathrooms
in Texas, New Mexico, Arizona and finally
in Needles, California. Once past Needles,
no more condom machines.

Clearly, back then, California was populated
by Puritans, such as Richard Nixon.

I'm not sure about the Puritan thing--i think he was a Quaker

You should ride a Greyhound bus from my
homestate of Oklahoma to California,
several times. You will discover the
only interest and excitement on the
trip is running into both men's and
women's bathrooms to see what is in
there, hopefully no men.

Once paid seventy-five cents for a
peanut butter and jelly sandwich
and a glass of milk in an old cafe
somewhere in New Mexico at three
in the morning. Really got ripped
on that one.

Seventy-five cents for a sandwich!
Crooks taking advantage of children.

I am not sure I believe all those ads
about shooting oatmeal out of cannons.
Strikes me it would be very hard to
sweep up, gather and package those
flakes for selling.

I took the bus(supposedly for fun) two years ago from Nebraska to Riverside---I had to pick up the 300ZX we left behind on our move here. It was no cheaper than flying--I was just looking for something--what I found was depressing--A lot of very nervous illegals--we stopped in Ogallala NE(true name) where the INS pulled two off the bus--no questions or discussion--they just walked down the aisle and seemingly randomly pointed ---the man and woman were separate--they both got their stuff and silently left the bus. The INS bus was full. I couldn't figger out why the INS didn't ask for EVERYONE's papers---they seemed to be overlooking a lot of people.Next stop--Colorado--the bus FILLED up with probable illlegals and guess what- no more checks --ALL THE WAY into Riverside. I think we are enforcing the laws very selectively and very oddly.
Needless to say no more bus trips for me--too bad-- I had a lot of fun on them when I was still a rolling stone.

Cannot mention his name but I just finished
talking with a very famous older singer,
you know well, everybody knows.

Somebody hacked an account at America Online,
pulled a credit card number from a company
which is his "secretarial" service. Using
his credit card information, they opened
forty-two pornography sites, originating
out of the West Indies and Tunisia, at
least at first glance.

He calls, tells me the FBI are working
on this, trying to trace down the culprit,
all that. Asks me if I can help him.

"Sure, I can help you but I will have
to break the law."

Tells me not to worry, if anything happens
he will tell the FBI I work for him and
he instructed me to do some hacking.

Sounds like an adventure to me, lots
of excitement!

An hour later, a bit of hacking, I was
able to trace this culprit down, right
to where he lives, even his phone number.

Big surprise! He is not in Tunisia nor
in the West Indies. He is in Virginia!
The crook tried to cover his trail by
using false information for his NIC
registry and some other tricks.

Boy Howdy, will the FBI be surprised
and will certainly ask how he came
into this information.

Want my stocks, Glassman? I am about
to go to jail.

Nah, I will flee to my Choctaw Nation
and become the next Keven Mitnik!

Watch it! I will whistle into a phone
and crash Wall Street!
