see if your company offers a roth 401k plan, that is the direction i would go. About the employee stock option sounds like a good idea- see if you will get the stock 15% lower than market value. I do warn you most companies will set the price and not change it until the next aniversary. the 2 paths this can go is:
Up - if you buy the stock form the company at a discount based on the current price, with 15% discount it would be 2.90-2.94 and if it goes up your in the money.
Down - if you buy the stock form the company at a discount based on the current price, with 15% discount it would be 2.90-2.94 and it losses money the you are a loss unitl it rebounds upward.
Before going this route check what the current employee purchase price is, if it is higher than the market I would recomend to buy the stock thru your own brokerage account, until the stock goes above the employee pruchase plan. They may also have a small window opened once a year to participate in the employee purchase program. |

I wudn buy ANY BBI stock till it hits a new 52 week low...How low will she go?  Well, we know fer a fackt it can't go much higher after Cramer wreckd it jist bafo this recent run ta da mid $3 dallah area....dat be the ONLY thang we'ze know fo sho.  (As a sidenote: A 20% move from da point Cramer wrecks a stock is purty GOOG actually..."if" you take into account dat da foist 15% o'da move took place about 10 seckonds after he said buy on his Mad Monkey show. The estreeee 5% is STILL GOOG fer a Cramer pick and eeeeeasily outperforms his running hystorical n hysterical standerds. To generate a 20% move in a $30+ dallah stock on a Cramer wreck is purt near impossibull however....file dat away in yer "invester" toolbox fer fewcher refrunce ) I'm wreckin BBI will break balow $2 dallahs at sumtime in da future....When it git there lemme know ifn ya want me ta check n see ifn it goes even lower!   |

Invest in the 401k plan and buy a balance of diversified mutual funds. Remember Enron?  |

| Spoke with a guy who did I-banking for a number of years; he thinks the deal is insane. I agree - two crappy companies combine to find what synergies? |

You are forgetting da most impotent fackter....da Warren Buffet/George Soros/Karl Icahn "idiot investor" fackter. The fackt dat the ave idiot will follow sumbudy they deem werthy ov jumpin into da same trade wit means BBI gives the idiots who bought that trade a little longer to chit n stink about it...jist becuz ole Karl is involved...ala yer hero WB fer instunce....same basic theory....same basic effect. Now, the airline deal betwixt Neegahs Wit Attitude..... and 20 inch rims, and DAL crashed n boined in da foist 20 seckonds afta da makwet saw what wassa goin on. Dat makes sense ov course....but not to da average idiot. The ave idiot would tell ya the airlines suck! And he's right! You realize he's right I hope....I doan think you are as SIRIously clewless as say Jinxie is...are ya?!!! Naaaah. NOBODY's dat clueless ova heeeya in dese pawts....not since dum Damon ran off into hiding like me said he wud. |

You will NEVER werk at any Wall St firm either. The ONLY difference betwixt Osama bin Laden and George W. Bush is dat Osama "almost" put the airlines outta bidness....but he nailed Wall St at the EXACT same time. Dubya wrecked the airlines and alotta udder fine industries here in the U.S.....but Wall St hasn't noticed yet. Ohhh, Wall St will notice soon....but the punishment coming will be MUCH greater than what happend on 9/11, 10 times worse actually. |

One mo thang until ya come back and try n interjeckt wit how much ya think ya know at sumtime in da future. If ya wanna be like Buff...the most impotent thing ya gotsta remembah is that the pump a stock gits at da mention dat fokes like WB are holding "usually" sets off da last "lemming run"....translayshun? Warren Buffet will be proven as wrong in many ov his holdings as he was bout selling PBR too erly in order to hold crap like COP till they cut da divie. Sooooo, ifn WB is stoopid enuff to hold into GIGUNDO losses and give up GIGUNDO gains then trust me! You Mr Wannabee will NOT be able to rescue USG!....dat'll be one a WB's BIGGEST mistakes EVER....But!....he'll be able to outright buy da company jist bafo they anoounce BK purt near $2 dallahs.....you'll jist go BK like the restov da Wall St idiots you desire to emulate. |

How about you look through Berkshire's last 13F (should be filed 2/14/08 for period ending 12/31/07) and pick out all the holdings listed there that you think Buffett, et al. are wrong about? |
