p> THE WAYS OF HOPE br> Re: Lawrence Henry's Summer Stock : /p>

I can remember the thought of some of my friends and family members who are invested. The towers were down but the markets were active (though not where they wanted them to be) and not many of my friends chose to pull out of the markets. We had hope.

Then the bookkeeping irregularities were exposed and heads started to roll and corporations started to do the fandango to get out of trouble as politicians and CEOs lined their pockets -- but investors who knew what they were doing kept doing what they had confidence in. We had hope.

p>We are smarter and more informed (and more opinionated) than ever before, and it is my opinion that this country's citizens may not have the best people representing them in government and they may not trust the heads of corporations but they have hope in a country that opens its borders to everyone (including terrorists -- theological, political or corporate) knowing that one day, the truth will be known and our country will return to stability that grows in the midst of turmoil. br> -- Stu Margrey br> Denton, MD /p> p> ROCKY SHANGRI-LA
