Guess what folks: with these wild gyrations, i think getting into mergers is a safe way to stay involved in the market. I feel that i'm being handed christmas early and have been buying every $3-5 down or so and will build a few thousand share position.

I will keep a close eye on the financiers; never been a fan of Citi but hey, thems the breaks.

I bought one just to see...they're not bad.

And remember, women will spend anything on clothing that has a status to them; there's a rumor about that Lulu pants makes your legs look thinner.

I'm in LULU because i like the vibe the company puts off. I have a $51 tee and a $60 jacket, and they are two of the most modern pieces of clothing i own.

Two questions: from news stories during the last year, i've become concerned with how much animosity is aimed at assessors by tax-payers and the abatement loads. Much probably has to do with seemingly stumbling upon new-found wealth due to real estate values without planning for the tax consequences.

How do your products (web city i think) help make it easier for the customer's customer?

Second: watched MANA stock for a week. It seems pretty sleepy. Let's say an institutional or individual investor wanted to buy 5,000 to 10,000 shares. Do you have private placements or block trading lined up?

Thanks,
