And nada to thin-skinned if anything dudette is kind of well, dorky. But let's get onto bigger and better things. You are a money guy and a savvy one at that. Me I am a journalist and not that bad given what I put into it.<BR/><BR/>As for freelance journo's making $50G TONS of them are and they spend most of their day working in their pajamas. And citizen journalists will never put credentialed journalists out of a job...how are they going to get a press pass? <BR/><BR/>Citizen Journalism is a cool concept that dates back to the 1st pamphlets of the 17th and 18th Century...partisan press. And I am glad citizen journalists are out there...a great example was the VA Tech massacre.<BR/><BR/>But not for nothing if you want cred you gotta earn it and it doesn't come easy. Citizen journalists aren't getting paid big bucks like NY Times investigative reporters nor will they be anytime soon.<BR/><BR/>As for you trite "look for the cheese" analogy for buying stock, I dig it. The stock market in plain English is so much easier to get and understand than 9 talking heads all at once on CNBC (not that you can't learn something that way too,I did last night).<BR/><BR/>So this is Stasia and Bob in a nutshell, he is 58 and I am 38. We agree to disagree A LOT. And he thinks he is the coolest thing since sliced and well so do I :-D He is my godfather after all.<BR/><BR/>StasiaStasia DeMarcohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16063146035645443072noreply@blogger.com
