  5. Thank you. I 'm just the type of person that, if I"m fucked, I fight back. And if you're on the other side of the street getting fucked, I"m there for that too.

    A lot of these guys say they're traders - fine. But my dog won't shit where she eats. People are crapping on our markets; someone has to speak up. CDO's anyone?????? Cdo's pale vs naked shorting. Why do you think they fight so hard?
