Momento: No estoy seguro de que esta elección será de la suerte, pero la presciencia, la previsión, la visión, el conocimiento y la especulación. En la medida en que puede prescindirse de la ideología, e ignoran los medios de comunicación (y Joe Lyddon), todos vamos a estar mejor. Si. -- -- Neil |

“The average American drinks 22 gallons of alcohol per year and walks 900 miles per year” Is that over and back to the toilet? -- A family man has photos in his wallet where his money used to be. |

finaly, investment advice that makes since. of course I probably drink twice as much and walk half as much, so I’m the SUV of americans at 20 miles per gallon. -- http://timetestedtools.net - Collecting is an investment in the past, and the future. |

...and a math genius to boot! ;-D Twice of 22 gallons is 44 gallons. But point made/taken. The Hummer of Americans perhaps? -- "Hard work is not defined by the difficulty of the task as much as a person's desire to perform it.", DS251 |

your right, I double the gallons and halved the walk, but only halved the equation. I’d better have another beer. -- http://timetestedtools.net - Collecting is an investment in the past, and the future. |

That joke worked better in 2009, because if you invested $1000.00 in Delta a year ago, you would have made ten percent on your investment, on AIG about two percent, and Lehman Brothers you couldn’t really call that an investment last year. May sixth 2009 the DOW was at 6626 today 13204. -- Mel, |

Ha! We get the same mileage out of Moxie here in Maine. How about Apple stock. In 1996 they were on the verge of bankruptcy…. about $12/share. What is it now $600 or so? yesterday they posted another blockbuster quarter. Sold 40 million iphones in 4 months. Analysts predict it to be the first Trillion dollar company in about a year. I specifically remember thinking about buying stock in the late 90’s… never did. Now that’s mileage! -- The smell of wood, coffee in the cup, the wife let's me do my thing, the lake is peaceful. |
