Did u hear that? "Unfortunate to have on an email."

At that time, noone knew Paulson. If he was on the other side, or even designed the tranch, that would not affect my decision on the trade.

I got them.

OK folks. I am thinking of signing up for a trading service. Yeah Yeah I know. Anyway, this service has been around for a long long time. The trading service provided me with member's phone numbers and I have been calling them and talking to them about the service. Most members admitted that...
