This is too funny... are you hiding behind some stupid synonym instead of openly stating that you are VN? Why do you speak of VN in the third...
I cannot wait to hear the news how some idiots funded him once again only to wait for the next blow up. I am a seasoned trader myself and if...
I recommend you call him up, you both would make a great couple!
