    How long before they file for bankruptcy??

    Actually, their way of doing “business” is very similar to Trumpty-Dumpty’s!!

    If memory serves me right, it’s called ‘creative accounting’!!

    Mike is definitely being way too cavalier about this. Watch out below!

    Small potatoes. Some folk blow 40 billion on a social media company.

    …sigh. I still remember when a million dollars was a lot of money. The good old days.

    No, you’re all mistaken —‘Algore’ has ALREADY ‘invented’ the Internet by this time (1998 per the copyright date).

    Oh the price of gold is rising out of sight

    And the dollar is in sorry shape tonight

    What the dollar used to get us

    Now won’t buy a head of lettuce

    No, the economic forecast isn’t bright

    But amid the clouds I spot a shining ray

    I can even glimpse a new and better way

    I’ve demised a plan of action

    Worked it down to the last fraction

    And I’m going into action here today

    Chorus:

    I am changing my name to Chrysler

    I am going down to Washington, D.C

    I will tell some power broker

    What they did for Iacocca

    Will be perfectly acceptable to me

    I am changing my name to Chrysler

    I am headed for that great receiving line

    And when they hand a million grand out

    I’ll be standing with my hand out

    Yes sir, I’ll get mine

    When my creditors are screaming for their dough

    I’ll be glad to tell them all where they can all go

    They won’t have to scream and holler

    They’ll be paid to the last dollar

    Where the endless streams of money seem to flow

    I’ll be glad to tell them what they can do

    It’s a matter of a simple form or two

    It’s not just remuneration, it’s a liberal education!

    Ain’t you kind of glad that I’m in debt to you?

    (Chorus)

    Since the first amphibian crawled out of the slime

    We’ve been struggling in an unrelenting climb

    We were hardly up and walking before money started talking

    And it said that failure is an awful crime

    Well, it’s been that way a millenium or two

    But now it seems that there’s a different point of view:

    If you’re a corporate titanic and your failure is gigantic

    Down in Congress there’s a safety net for you

    (Chorus)

    “I’m Changing My Name to Chrysler” ~ Tom Paxton

    This is why I only invest in things I can understand and see a need for – and they are LONG HAUL investments.

    15 years ago, it was Precious Metals Technologies – which I saw as crucial for Electrical Vehicles and accessories. These stocks and that sector are doing quite well.

    35 years ago, it was Disney – These stocks split and grew quite a bit.

    Today, it’s water harvesting, water purification, and water storage – because we all need it, and we can’t do without it-and with droughts and river rights, etc. it’s necessary for survival.

    My trouble is I get attached to things…and I won’t let them go. Embraer ADR’s is a good example. I should have sold that when the EMB 170 came out, with luke warm sales – but the stock was still high – but NOPE this DOPE still has all his ADR’s plus the reinvestment of the dividend back into it…so I have more misery.

    “We lose money on every sale, but we make up for it in volume.” I actually had a client who built a chain of retail stores on this model… and sold the chain and brand for a ton of money back in the day.
