Antonio, I see where you haven't shed all of your Roman Catholic rituals, but then, confessions are good for your mental health. Have a great year and thanks for your contributions.

Tonight, I am a Canadiens fan since I cannot root for a hockey team from Florida.
Go Bruins! (Dallas...hockey team from Texas? Come on...)

Those tribal instincts are powerful eh Antonio

My take on hockey, Antonio, is if your city can't host a Winter Classic game you don't deserve a hockey team!!! In other words ya can't make ice outside you ain't gonna have a real feel for the sport! Go Flyer! Watching the old timer's game today gave me goosebumps....man we all got old. Parent still good in net! More impressive than that 51 mil$ Rusky Bryzgalov or as I call him BorisKarlof. Happy Nu Year all!

What you talking about Toonist, there's no way you could have ice outdoors in Philadelphia if it wasn't artificial ice. I remember when Berlin was the only city in New Hampshire that would have ice before Christmas! Y'all have a Happy Nude Year too.

Monday, Monday, even if it is the "holiday."
LEXINGTON, N.C. (AP) - Do you have change for a million-dollar bill?
Police say a North Carolina man insisted his million-dollar note was real when he was buying $476 worth of items at a Walmart.
Investigators told the Winston-Salem Journal that 53-year-old Michael Fuller tried to buy a vacuum cleaner, a microwave oven and other items.
Store employees called police after his insistence that the bill was legit, and Fuller was arrested.
The largest bill in circulation is $100. The government stopped making bills of up to $10,000 in 1969.
Fuller was charged with attempting to obtain property by false pretense and uttering a forged instrument. He is in jail on a $17,500 bond, and it isn't clear if he has an attorney. He is scheduled to be in court Tuesday.

Sounds like the poor fellow lacks in something. Anybody having a $1M note of any kind would not show up at a Walmart, unless of course he was going to buy the store.

Any Comments there Tony? This is a Good Thing, Right?

"at least our money went somewhere doing good for New Hampshire."
Quote:It's unclear as to where shareholders' funds went, but I don't think Mr. Bartoszek gave the money to Cate Street or the other parties actually involved in the BBP project
If one attached a very generous average 0008/sh average price to the 2.4B float, the common stock contributed $1.9M to the company. By the time you pay for the NYC office, salaries for Bart and the gang, accounting, lawyer fees, and multiply it for 5 yrs, there probably isn't much left over.
Most if not all common shareholder equity was burned off over 5 yrs. Current assets applied to preferred stock. The only good was the good it did in Bart's pocket.
Quote:I suspect that the fate of those funds is one of the reasons for the SEC suspension of LLEG stock.
It's probably a principle reason. I often wonder what $1M "Other" expenses meant in their unaudited financials. No notations or explaination what "Other" means. Yet it was a sizable part of the total expenses

Great News for Greenwood, Maine. It is -only- 24 Jobs though...
Well what if a little something like this happened in Every "Little Town" across America? And I do not mean just wood products.

( I'm sure glad you reminded me about that lleg stock, Tony. It had Compleatly disappeared from the Radar. Maybe one day Mr. Tardiff might just mention it in a footnote to an article on the Reinvention of Berlin??? - I hope You did not Own any as that would surely explain Your Distress ;-] )

Small employers (fewer than 30 employees) are the future, particularly in this region.
I remind folks of Laidlaw since it was just two years ago that Mayor Grenier welcomed that company in his inaugural address. See what he says this year. This City dodged a bullet, thanks to Cate Street Capital, but many lost big time.
I doubt they will get a footnote; they will be "forgotten" like all the other con artists who ripped through this town.
