BFI November [censored] thread

[Ron Burgundy]

This is from the Q3 report for ALDA:

[ QUOTE ]
Our selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expense was higher in the current quarter as compared to the comparable quarter of 2006 predominantly due to expenses related to our modified Dutch auction Tender Offer, which closed on September 28, 2007 in which 370,845 shares were tendered," said Mr. Mathewson.

Has anyone taken the Series 65 Exam? Reading the exam specs, it doesn't look too hard.

For those who have taken it, are there a lot of calculations? I hope not because I suck at it.

I made a thread hoping for help with this but it got locked. This is low content so I'm sure it's fine.

I really need a CD called "Found" by O.A.R. (Of A Revolution). I can't find it anywhere. I think it came out as a Christmas Special about 2 or 3 years ago.

If anyone can find it for me there is some $ involved.

Help me out BFI friends

Edit: It's for a friend of mine for a Christmas gift.

come on bitches i'll pay double whatever price you find

[john kane]

would i be completely bonkers to do this:

i have £110k saved up from poker, would it be mad to go for an big gamble on gold, by setting aside £50k and putting £500 on a $1 swing in the price of gold? thus stop loss/busto at $685 (currently at $785)?

would this be utterly wreckless? i am thinking definitely so hence i likely won't but it's [censored] tempting to given there is a lot of confidence in the price of gold for the coming couple of years, and if so I want to do as well as I can out of it.
