    Looking for an internship this summer...

    A fair question... I worked for MLCO in their Private Client division this past summer, for five weeks. I did this without pay, 50 hrs+/week, just for the experience. Sucker job maybe, but I made some good contacts. Even more important though, I determined that I do not like the Risk...

    Pete, welcome back, glad to hear you are not in prison. When will the Hall of Fame come for you? Edit : Thank you Michael, I had not seen your extended response, and I am thus, corrected. I felt the extent of your membership dignified my not deleting my previous response.

    Sucker plays
