A Marine’s Mom Speaks September 20, 2001February 20, 2017 I’m buying some more CSPLF today at $5.25 if I can get it – it fell sharply on a largely unfavorable court ruling yesterday, but owns a lot of natural gas in Canada. If you can REALLY afford to lose this money, and aren’t already over-exposed in speculative energy stocks, it might be worth a look. [Usual caveats apply: I am terrible at this; you must NEVER borrow to invest (which means never investing if you run credit card balances or might need the money if the roof starts to leak); you would do better just investing in index mutual funds; patience has to be your middle name.] And now back to more important matters. * Gregory Lawton: ‘What could be better than having Osama bin Laden tried by an Islamic court and executed for his horrific crimes according to the Islamic law that he professes to revere?’ ☞ Give me a minute . . . nope – can’t think of anything.
