Harry,
It is good to see you say you have "relatively small" holdings in public traded stocks. Heck, many people would think your $1,000,000 of Microsoft shares would be more than "relatively small holdings". ; ) Harry, what happened in your life that you find it necessary to puff your life up with silly stories?

Harry,
You just said a few weeks ago that you had not sold any of your MS shares. I can see why you refused to have your posts archived. You are the only who said you made more than a million dollars by buying 10,000 shares on MS's initial offering. Life's a bitch when you can not remember what you say one day to the next. Especially if one is a compulsive liar. "HarryKrause" wrote in message ... Real Name wrote: Harry, It is good to see you say you have "relatively small" holdings in public traded stocks.

How are your Enron shares doing, ****head? -- Let's pray the United States survives the rest of Bush's term. |

Harry has told use he has used a wireless modem since 1997. He is a true
innovator. "John H." wrote in message ...

So if I find a post that said you did would that make you a liar?

And I never bought 10,000 shares, or said that I did, or said how much money I made off of buying MS shares.

Wow,
Harry you went from a mega money maker in the stock market to sitting on the sidelines. Didn't you also make a few million selling IBM short? It must be nice for you and your "Dr.Dr". wife to set up all those "trust accounts" for you kids and grandkids. "HarryKrause" wrote in message ...

Doesn't that boat have a wireless modem that would allow you to stay online while you were out raking in the fish? $650 a day gross running a large boat ain't gonna hack it. $650 a day net is fine for part-time. Down in Jax, where the living is cheap, you can hire a first-rate inshore skipper and boat and all supplies for about $375 a day, and on that basis, if he works five days a week most of the year, he's making a modest living. Most of the money I made off the market is now, via trusts, in the hands of my kids and grandkids. I am, for all intents and purposes, out of the stock market, other than a few blocks I hold because of sentimental reasons or because I have some special personal interest in the company issuing it. BTW, your boy Bush's policy of not doing anything to alleviate fuel prices has put the bite on the boating industry in this area. Sales are way, way down, marinas are doing much less business, and even the ramps at Solomons and BP are uncrowded most weekends. -- Let's pray the United States survives the rest of Bush's term. |
