| The Fool: | If you could be the CEO of any public company, which one and why? |
| onDlamNmexico: | Frankly I don't like to get out of bed before 10am so being a CEO doesn't have much appeal to me. But sometimes I think that's what the CEO's of some these companies I invest in must be doing - so maybe I am CEO material. I'll have to think it over in the morning. |
| The Fool: | What's your greatest athletic achievement? Little League champ? Ran a marathon? Did 4 consecutive sit-ups? |
| onDlamNmexico: | Amatuer boxing record of 2 wins 1 loss. The loss was by far the most fun. I didn't get KO'd, but did get "dinged" a few times. Great experience. This might explain some of my foolishness (in this case I mean stupidity, not FOOLISHNESS). But, I give more weight to High School drunkeness than a few blows to the ol' noggin. |
| The Fool: | Have you had a brush with fame, the proverbial '15 minutes'? Tell us about it. |
| onDlamNmexico: | The great Chupacabra (goat-sucker) scare of '96 that swept Mexico. A friend and I were quoated in a local daily as experts on the Chupacabra Attacks who had traveled from Austrailia to help the Mexican Govt. fight the blood sucking beasts that were terrorizing the countyside. We called a press conferance but ended up in a bar laughing and drinking too much to attend. |
| The Fool: | Describe the most embarrassing personal moment you'll admit to! |
| onDlamNmexico: | It looks as though this interview is going to be my most embarrassing moment. |
| The Fool: | Give a short description of your best and/or worst vacation. |
| onDlamNmexico: |
Best vacation - SE Asia, especially N. Thailand on a rented motorcycle for $7/day. On an old dirt road in the mountians I came across two half-naked 80 year old village ladies smoking an opium pipe. Crazy and memorable. Ps-I only bought a pepsi from them-REALLY! Worst vacation - traveling anywhere with a partner who carries too much stuff. If your pack weighs more than 20lbs then toss it and stop yer bitchin'. |
| The Fool: | Write a poem for us about something financial (no Nantucket references): |
| onDlamNmexico: |
A Financial Tree\ Can Always Grow\ When Daily You Don't Look To See\ What's Happening To Your Dough. |
| The Fool: | What's been your best investment to date and how did you discover it? |
| onDlamNmexico: | Orcl - bottom dropped out a year ago and that was my first purchase ever in the market. The stock was getting hammered and the headlines were bad, so I bought. Kinda foolish, huh? |
| The Fool: | Do you have a favorite company or stock which the worldwide Foolish community should know about -- and why? |
| onDlamNmexico: | Check out World Access (waxs). I think the company has good potential but the stock has been beaten up recently. WAXS has made some important acquisitions and I think the stock price will soon reflect this. |
| The Fool: | List some of your favorite websites, with running commentary where appropriate. (Please provide the URLs, too.) |
| onDlamNmexico: | www.fighters.com - even if you're not a boxing fan this site is fun to read. www.word-detective.com - always something interesting. |
