Whoa! He certainly was a man before his time. Wonder what he'd have to say about the 'reality tv' phenomena? Some tv is more wasteful than others. At least Martha Stewart offers something constructive.

It's a memorable quote..google "vast wasteland"..and their was a certain artistic license to his phraseolgy..at the time he gave the speech..something like 65% of the most popular TV shows were westerns..hence the slight pun..

Can anyone tell me the symbol for MS stock?

I used to check it out when it was under $10. It's probably double that by now.

I passed up FedEx when it was under $40.......about 18 months ago. Was waiting for it to go down to $35. No luck with stocks.......better stick with RE.
