Well Sink, I too am somebody you have run into a time or two--and you know I do have a lot of friends here.

I must have made more of an impression on you than you did on me, because I don't recall ever meeting you.

I don't like the fact that it is not possible to make money on any investment other than from speculative profits because the price goes up;

Oh, so you're for higher interest rates so YOU can make some money off your pitiful CDs? A CD is not an "investment"; it's a sure thing.

Listen, I've made money each of the last three years in the stock market, the three worst years EVER in the stock market. And I'm not that smart.

And, if you don't support the war on terror, I'm not paying attention to ANYTHING else you say.

Have a nice Sunday.

A CD is not an "investment"; it's a sure thing.

Treasury has started early redemptions of the long bond, cancelling that "sure thing" interest income that retirees had planned and bet their retirement on. Treasury Calls 9-1/8 Percent Bonds of 2004-09

But Karl Rove luvs ya.
