Nope.

And actually, they made a place for me because they didn't want to lose me for lack of a position. This company is to bonds like NASDAQ or the NYSE is to stocks. When stocks tanked, the number of transactions went up. Similarly for stocks. That isn't a bad thing. An additional plus: this is a non-automotive company in a densely automotive-based area, so we aren't tied to local downturns. Regards, -scott anderson

Thus, if the stock market picks up, a company that depends on bonds might shrink a bit. But, being counter-resession-sensitive may be a good thing because if they shrink due to an active stock market, then at least you are more likely to find an active market elsewhere. Then again, stocks and the economy are not always in lock-step. Hey, do they hire non-OO-fans by chance? Anyhow, congrats! Bummer. Now you won't have time to make that "killer OOP example" that you talk about every now and then. ________________ oop.ismad.com

Post #5,204 by admin 8/14/01 9:28:43 PM Reply	No, that wasn't your point. You didn't read me. As Jay pointed out, transaction-based businesses don't care what the prices are. They only care about how many transactions there are. In bad times, the numbers of transactions don't change. Just the dollar amounts. Regards, -scott anderson
