icky, you wrote " i lost $20K to blackburn w/ pbls.  luckily i have been out of teco 4 a long time and made a few bucks.  the longs & pumpers here will never recoop," Why don't you elaborate about your doom and gloom? Give specifics because otherwise it looks like your full of chit! I believe you lost $20K and probably have lost much more over your trading years! What I don't understand since you don't explain "why" is how losing $20k on PBLS has anything to do with every shareholder never recouping their TECO losses.  I've lost plenty over the years and gained back plenty as well.  That's the game! But to come on a message board and throw out bullchit without qualifying your statement is pure stupidity!
