Little humor time. This was sent to me by another member here and I've posted it with their permission.

Here is a piece written by Andy Rooney from CBS's 60 Minutes. It's hard
to believe that a man wrote this - Enjoy!
As I grow in age, I value women who are over 40 most of all.Here are
just a few reasons why:
A woman over 40 will not lie next to you in bed and ask, "What are you
thinking?" She doesn't care what you think.
If a woman over 40 doesn't want to watch the game, she doesn't sit
around whining about it. She does something she wants to do.And it's
usually something more interesting.
A woman over 40 knows herself well enough to be assured in who she is,
what she is, what she wants and from whom.Few women past the age of 40
give a &*#! what you might think about her or what she's doing.
Women over 40 are dignified. They seldom have a screaming match with you
at the opera or in the middle of an expensive restaurant. Of course, if
you deserve it, they won't hesitate to shoot you if they think they can
get away with it.
Older women are generous with praise.They know what it's like to be
unappreciated.
A woman over 40 has the self-assurance to introduce you to her women
friends.A younger woman with a man will often ignore even her best
friend because she doesn't trust the guy with other women. Women over 40
couldn't care less if you're attracted to her friends because she knows
her friends won't betray her.
Women get psychic as they age.You never have to confess your sins to a
woman over 40.They already know.
A woman over 40 looks good wearing bright red lipstick.This is not
true of younger women or drag queens.
Once you get past a wrinkle or two, a woman over 40 is far sexier than
her younger counterpart.
Older women are forthright and honest.They'll tell you right off if
you are a jerk if you are acting like one.You don't ever have to
wonder where you stand with her.
Yes, we praise women over 40 for a multitude of reasons.Unfortunately,
it's not reciprocal.For every stunning, smart, well-coiffed woman of
40+there is a bald, paunchy relic in yellow pants making a fool of
himself with some 18-year-old waitress.
Ladies, I apologize.For all those men who say,"Why buy the cow when
you can get the milk for free?", here's an update for you.Nowadays 80%
of women are against marriage.Why? Because women realize it's not
worth buying an entire pig, just to get a little sausage.

FYI on a couple small cap funds:
Small-company (small-cap) stocks display a correlation to large-company stocks of less than one, so their addition to a portfolio may add diversification. Correlation is a measure of how investment price fluctuations are related to one another. If two investments move together, their correlation is one; that is not desirable. If the correlation is less than one, they do not move together and diversification is improved. To lower small caps' high level of risk, we prefer to emphasize the value end.
Royce Total Return Fund (RYTRX). Most diversified portfolios should include some small-cap stock funds. We prefer small-cap value or a blend to small-cap growth. Many studies have consistently shown that value stocks provide as much if not more return as growth stocks but with less risk. Royce is one of the few really good small-cap funds that is open to new investors. (Small company stock funds tend to close quickly if they get too large.) It performs well in bad markets, and therefore, it fits in nicely with our strategy of creating high-stability portfolios. Royce has returned more than 10% annually for the last three years and has a reasonable expense ratio (for a small stock fund) of 1.15%. Minimum initial purchase: $2,000 for a taxable account... $500 for an IRA.
Keeley Small-Cap Value Fund (KSCVX). This fund's management adheres to a value strategy and has been rewarded with lower volatility than most small-cap funds. Its expense ratio of 1.64% is higher than we like -- we like to see an expense ratio of 1.25% or less for small stock funds -- but its performance has exceeded that hurdle with an annualized return since inception of 14.6%, beating its benchmark, the Russell 2000 Index, eight out of the last 10 years. Minimum initial purchase: $1,000 for a taxable account... $250 for an IRA.

I moved to 100% F fund this morning. We should get the penny today and I think stocks are headed into a consolidation mode. They may be up tomorrow but I doubt enough to warrant the risk. That leaves the F........
I noticed that last Aug. was pretty good for the F fund. I'll probably jump in and out of it till I see stocks come back up.
Good luck,

You have to do what you feel is best for the board, Tom. But I do have to say this Mlk-Man was delivering. His moves were very interesting and seemed like his system was effective. I'm kind of like Rolo, now I will not know his system and it is a loss to the board.To read the market the way he was the last few months was really something, and if you followed him you made some cool cash.Good Luck to you Mlk-Man!

MM posted. He is not out after all. Didn't get the redneck part. Is that because cowboy is a farm boy and since he is under the sun alot that his neck turns red due to sunburn?
Rolo and Cowboy, If we ever get together, i'll be frisking both of you before we sit down for a beer.... Oooppsss... sorry margarita for me...
Ggal, please send me your pics... Would like to verify that myself...;-)
