Come on Norman, you know what they are worth; LOL. Think where investors
would be if they stay with purchasing items such as Lionel trains instead of
the WorldCom, Enron, etc. of the world.
I sold all my trains years ago. I was going to make it "BIG" in the
brokerage business. We know "the rest of the story."
My solace now is a good glass of scotch.
