unfortunately most of them are broken.

This is a response to Lukas’ post over here… I hate blogging about comments I make on other blogs, but I also like to keep semi-coherent blog entries under my roof, so that I can have them should I ever need to refer back to them.
I am not a stock broker, but spend all my […]
