Gene, don't you know that if JohnH approves the OT discussion then it is OK.
However, if he disagrees with it then he will put on his netcop sheriff hat
and badge, jump on his pony and tell you to knock it off.

He did exactly that just today.

Way back when lotteries first started around here (late 70s ) a local guy
(alcoholic semi-bum) won half a million. Didn't take long for his so
called friends to take/drink his money away. Six months later he was back
on the street again looking for wine money

Amazing his liver survived the onslaught.

Jimmy, the only OT posts to which I object are the political/religious or
otherwise inflammatory posts that start the acerbic name-calling. I doubt
if you'll find any 'netcopping' posts of mine that go against what I just
said.

You'd dismiss *all* investment advisors? Other than diversifying
investments, it would seem prudent to listen. Seems Mark McCormick did a
great job for his clients.

It wouldn't matter. You could stick the money in a wide assortment of
corporate and/or municipal bonds, make 6-8% (taxable, or after tax equiv),
and live happily, forever.

Skipper as "investment adviser." Now there's a laugh.


Next he'll try to sell us farm land in Kansas as an investment.
