 here one to ponder ....

If you had purchased $1,000 of shares in Delta Airlines one year ago,
you would have $49.00 today! If you purchased $1,000 of shares in AIG, you would have $33.00. If you purchased $1,000 of shares in Lehman Brothers, you would have $0.00 today. But, if you purchased $1,000 worth of beer, drank all the beer, turned in the aluminum cans for recycling, you would have $214.00.

I purchased 10,000 shares of Ford at just over $1. Sold them at just under $8. I've always sold when I was happy with the return. I get to sleep easy at night.

This cost me a thousand bucks, and as soon as this govenment outlaws it, Im sure it will be worth a lot more.  I put it on the Valkyrie seat to give some size perspective......

Britman....if you get it too shiney and dont care to turn your gun into a mirror finish, just lightly graze it with a green shotch-bright pad.  Kinda look how the buff marks in the factory finish goes and duplicate.  Mine came out better looking than the factory but the same exact finish.  I only had to work on one side and you cant tell comparing the sides.....It would cost you near 1,000 bucks to send it back to S&W and have them refinish it, well maybe not that much but now its 1,000 bucks related.....LOL

Some people invest in stocks.  Some in bonds.  Some in property.
I invest in metal.



30 more days and I should have this, my order was put in months ago!  $1,350 of .357 Magnum bliss (in a 1911 frame!)

Thanks. Mothers worked well. Didn't apply too much and didn't work it very long.
