Reply #27: I have a "friend" like that too [View All]

it is a woman and she inherited $850,000.00 and it is/was in Merrill Lynch. I told her to get that money away from that place when she got it but she did not take my sage advice (I am a retired bookkeeper and my own family lost it all in 1929 as my great grandfather was a bookkeeper as well and he was in it up to his eyeballs and I have the worthless stock certificates to prove it - they were kept for a damn good reason I believe as viable warnings that it could and will happen again).

She bragged about how all the money she made on Wall Street paid for her "new Volvo and the land bought to build a $300,000.00 house on" (note: all financed by Merrill Lynch mind you - loans from credible banks were not to be found being she has NO INCOME).

The last time I heard from her was the remains of a faint drifting voice on the answering machine a few days ago. That voice didn't sound so damn gleeful.

I'm with you - let these a-wholes rot in their own stink!

GREED DOESN'T PAY!

Maybe, just maybe, they have learned something I can only hope!
