April 12, 1996 (Yahoo IPO Date)



Dude, you really have to get into            I don't know, I'm pretty conservative... I'm
these tech stocks... this is how             going to stick with my boring stocks and

January 1, 2004 (Recovery well
                     under way, calling Broker)


                                        I think the economy has finally
                                        recovered, but lets buy only
                                        half this time... just the S&P...I
                                        learned my lesson about risk!
