Who gives a monkeys?

well, some who may read it might get a click or an idea even thinking in terms of auction markets, and general selling obtaining stock for resale concepts.

It may even ignite huge dormant fuel tanks, leading to explosions of very big proportions, err or not.....

ok neil can you say what why & How on obtaining ,then selling your stock? and understand that its logical to do it that way, I mean its tailored thought through and is totally applicable to the trading market place etc..?

ohh and some have never even thought of it this way.... you saying you speak for all of them?
no course your not... let each individual have their own say neil, in future just say " I dont give a monkeys"

good man. (yeeeeesh no wonder he needs pills to keep his pecker up)

 

[neil]
