Remember this reporter? He recently wrote an article about going to church with Mitt Romney.

Kind of funny the media reaction. He probably is right about him.

I give him credit for owning up to it and what it was, and for acknowledging that Romney exceeded his expectations. But the bottom line is reporters are bottom feeders that are selling headlines. Truth is secondary. Sometimes truth comes out, but it's a side effect.

Very funny, PennyPauper.

Hey, have you guys ever heard of The Red Green show from Canada? At the end of the show, the stars would go into their lodge meeting and say the Man's Prayer: "I'm a man, but I can change, if I have to, I guess."

Making mistakes is just part of being a man. It's ridiculous to gleefully anticipate someone else making mistakes.

Rings a bell, I think I had heard of that but had forgotten about it. Sounds perfectly normal. :)

Roger that. Part of being human; but men have perfected it... ;)

Haha, yes! I LOVE the red green show! I haven't seen it in a while but it's definitely one of my favorites.

Former stock broker w/ ~20 yrs. at one company. Spoke with 100k+ people and traded a lot (long, short, options, margin, extended hours, etc.).

NOTE: ANY stocks I discuss, no matter how compelling, carry risk- often
substantial. If not prepared to buy it multiple times in modest amounts without going overboard (assuming nothing really wrong with the company), you need to learn more about the market and managing risk. Also, please research covered calls (options) and selling short as well.
