@davidmoran: It has nothing to do with Tubman, its doing a dishonor to the office of the President of the United States by removing him from the front of the bill. I will not discuss this any further, except to say the hell with political correctn…
@MFO Members: Putting Andrew Jackson from the front of the twenty dollar bill to the back is a joke. The country is going to drowned in political correctness.

@heezsafe & MFO Members: Well ! Well ! its safe to come out from underneath the covers, its not Armageddon after all.

@MFO Members: One of my core holding for income is one of Bill's recommendation NLY. They just purchased Hatteras Mortgage that bodes well for future earnings, and with a 11.5% yield should be given serious consideration.
