I didn’t realize they started in 2002. When I was on the ISE desk in 2004 they were supposedly earning 700mm in that business.

Ken marking to market his investment? It means what? The firm earns like 2-3bn in net income?

the comment was directed to maxinger who has apparently put me on block.

how many shares of IAT did you buy in April 2020? Is that how you bought that lambo? Or are you a hindsight trader and the lambo is as imaginary as your fills? do you compare all your current purchases to where the stocks were in March 2009?

if dealing with a little corruption will keep the brown, black, red, yellow, and women people down then it’s the price im willing to pay!
