Preach it,Brother!

But seriously....if I'd followed Steve's and Hooves plays I'd have money in the bank....probably!

The word is CAUTION,Curt.........get your UI first....then use maybe 400 of your stake to see if you can make up some big money. It's way better to have a "cushion" than living week to week! Take care.
