Tonight I talked to a relative who is upper level management at one of the top three bond-rating agencies. Though it was a family related call, after a time I detoured toward a discussion about the economy. In general, not a particular rosy picture. There are problem areas, especially, in the banking sector; he did not elucidate. I veered into stocks, and mentoned being invested in MMJ. Though he doesn't invest in OTC stocks or high risk companies, he nevertheless considers MMJ an up and coming industry. That opinion seems to reflect the thoughts of two extremely wealthy individuals whom he knows and who are invested in the sector. I mentioned iequity corp and my curiosity about who holds stakes in the firm. He said he was not familiar with that private equity firm, but would look into its make up and get back to me
