Investing in anything can be risky and there's as much money lost as made with poor portfolio management. There's no such thing as a risk-free investment - whatever the publicity and hype says. Generally, the more expansive the promises, the greater the risk and the claims of quick and easy returns are the ones that are most likely to be broken but, with good and careful methodology, there are some sound investment opportunities around - Real Estate in Sarasota Florida is one of the best of them.

Sounds like one of those southern aphorsisms, like "deer caught in
headlights"
(which, BTW, has gotten widespread use)  It puts such a picture in
your
mind.

Banty

Oh man, here are the one's that consider themselves to be of superior
intellectual capabilities because they are not from the South.  Hey
Banty,
you are one of those aren't you.  The smugness and haughtiness always
reveals itself after a certain amount of jabbering.

Let's see Banty, you think anytime someone says anything about an
animal
they are from the South. The ignorance that has been fed to many of you
through the years becomes reality for you and you actually believe that
everyone in the South drives a pickup truck, chews tobacco, hunts and
kills animals, beat their wives, abuse their children, and says ain't
three thousand times a day.

??? What in the Sam Hill are you talkin' 'bout, boy?

I reckon that y'all don't have Southern roots runnin' real deep, hon,
because this kind of leap in logic is, well, jes' plain addled.
Southern colloquialisms and expressions are celebrated throughout the
English-speaking world because they're so poetic, so colorful, so...
right as rain. I know -- I grew up in Tennessee, talkin' like that, and
I still use those expressions when I write. At work. Professionally.
Even Southerners lay claim to some colloquialisms that we can 'pert
near trace the origin to other regions of the country.

[snip my drawlin')

Hedgehog, I had a thought and followed through on it and explored it in
the way that I felt the person was referring to the South.  And really, I
don't care how you talk or spell or sound as long as you do not think you
are better than someone else because you are from a different part of the
country.

With all due respect, sugar, y'all missed my point, which was that
because Southern colloquialisms are so celebrated, if anything, Banty's
attributing the "deer in headlights" phrase to the South is a
*compliment*. As I said, even Southerners are sometimes quick to take
credit for coining those phrases, even when there's pretty good
evidence that they originated somewhere else.

Now take Banty as an example.  I do not know anything about her and have
never Usenetted with her before. She says she is originally from Texas and
now lives in New York.  I would not doubt it if she were the type of
person that moves away from her home and then is ashamed of where she came
from and attempts to modify her speech and her behavior to fit in.

Alt, Alt, Alt. I could see you were a-fixin' to take one of those
quantum-type leaps again. And once again, you done come up with a
conclusion that's dumber than a barrel of hair.

It just struck me as odd the way she said, "sounds like one of THOSE
southern aphorisms" that gave me the idea that she carried disdain for
things Southern.

Uh huh. 'Course, the emphasis there is your'n -- she had the word
"those" lower-case, no emphasis (see the above quote).
Which says to me more that you're spoilin' for a fight than anything
about her state o' mind.

Y'all really should simmer down, son, because even if Banty's not been
back to Texas in a coon's age, she'd be well within her rights now to
bless you out six ways from Sunday.
