All the turtle wax in the world won't put a shine on that turd, unfortunately. But you gotta admire his stamina. Dude knows what he likes.

I wish I could but my entire idenity rests solely on the merits of my band. There is nothing else to me. Why has thou forsaken me?

Great! Another spellar.

Or just a bad typist.

Most spelling mistakes are due to bad typing.

Ahhh, the expert weighs in.

Dude, I know how to spell. When to end a sentence, now that's another story.

I'm trying to offer you a shovel, in hopes that you might try and dig out.

Seriously, we have smartasses already. Lots. It's covered. They're better than you. That's not a challenge.

I need to start crappy threads about myself and post every couple of minutes to get my post count up. This kid (I'm assuming) has nearly twenty in a day or two, and it took me like two years or more to get to 500.

Gosh! What will I do if the Obner (what the fuck is obner?) board doesn't fully accept me as one of it's own! You really know how to cut to the core of me, Helmet.

Go straight to the stage where you get tired of us and leave. That'd be awesome. And tell Bort to keep his trash to himself.

(playground kids gathering around in a circle)

Board fight. BOARD FIGHT. BOARD FIGHT.

...and that is what he thinks we all look like, at least from the neck up.

Fair enough :)

Individual investors generally fall into one of three categories: growth investors, value investors or dividend investors.

Growth
A stock's price often reflects how profitable investors think a company will be in the future. So most investors follow a growth strategy, which means that they look for companies with strong prospects for growing their sales and earnings. Definitions vary, but stocks expected to increase their sales (and their net income) from one year to the next by at least 15% generally qualify as growth stocks.

Value
Value investors follow a different path. They believe that the broader stock market always overreacts to news about a company. They seek out formerly hot stocks that have stumbled and whose share prices are at bargain levels. Being cheap, though, isn't enough by itself. Value investors try to zero in on stocks that were beaten down due to temporary problems that can be fixed.

Dividends
Dividend investors buy stocks that pay a cash dividend based on the number of shares you own, usually on a quarterly basis. Unlike value and growth investors, who only make money when they sell, dividend investors get paid while they hold the stock.Preferred stock

Thus, dividend investors buy stocks as much for the income as they do for capital appreciation (which is what you get when you sell a stock at a higher price than you paid for it). Dividend investors look for financially solid companies with the wherewithal to continue paying their dividends, regardless of what's happening in the economy.

Apparently your mullet is hidden by your helmet.

I love you estone.

Jesus what a bunch of A-holes you are.

It's not like the guy is shouting how great his band is for fucksake. I read it as more of an introduction to himself and the kind of music he enjoys or is influenced by.

This thread pays awesome dividends.

Hey, at least someone gets it. *high five*

You're totally right, until he began with the insults. Seriously. "I'm in a band" is fine. "You're all dumbasses" (paraphrased) isn't. And then to refuse to step back from it is just... tiresome.

But if I've learned anything, it's that newbies don't come across very accurately at first. Killer Whaler seemed a little offkey, but I met the guy and he's fucking aces. So if he feels like easing up, fine, we all like new people. But how many olive branches are we gonna extend?

Dude. Listen to yourself. You sound like someone who takes the internet a teency bit too seriously. No? C'mon.. Fighting on the internet is like the special olympics, remember? No matter who wins, we're all retarded. How can I truly insult any of you if I don't know you guys? Smile. It's nice.
