I TOLD ALL OF YOU ABOUT TRUMP STOCK


I have been stating since 2007, that Trump Entertainment could not survive and many continued to purchase common stock in Trump and hold onto their investments. The Stock was delisted from Nasdaq this past Friday and will now move to either the OTCBB or the pink sheets.

I have been preaching for the management to eliminate gaming at the Plaza and convert it to rooms and possibly condo's, placing their limited funds into debt reduction and the Taj Mahal in order to survive, again no one listened.

I now rest my case, soon the TRUMP name will be removed from the three building with the Marina hopefully going to Jimmy Buffet, he should lower his offer too $150-million, and Trump management should take it and use the money at the Taj Mahal and I still stand by with closing Trump Plaza to save Financial resources.

All the gaming properties should consider going back to a "LESS IS MORE" marketing mentality.
For example: Lower the table minimums on Roulette to $2.00, even a dollar minimum, lower the craps and blackjack table minimums, in order to bring players into the properties, and it will help the restaurants and lower the room rates to $25.00 a night, even during the summer months. BET LOW, WIN HIGH.

Atlantic City is battling the PA SLOTS and NY slots market. They need to respond with slots giving back a bigger win to the slot player and return to the days when "COMPS" were king for the little guy who spent only $100.00 at a slot machine,Roulette table, etc. I remember when you couldn't get near a $2.00 roulette table and a $3.00 black jack table at the Playboy,when it existed. I never missed a Tuesday night at the Roulette table at the Sands.

Atlantic City, while working hard to go upscale seeking out the "WHALES" has lost their regulars by eliminating many of the perks for the small dollar customers. The 11 casino's need to look at the marketing efforts of the past and bring those gamblers back.

Many who visit the PA slot "parlors" find the slots convenient, save gas, no uncomfortable ride on the bus ride to AC. Now it s time for the management at all properties to step up the service to the gamblers they lost with "NEW PERKS."

Any Casino property owner who would like to consult with me on bringing gamblers back to thier properties can reach me at: frontier22@aol.com.

So for now, thats the way ti is, Monday February 23,2009.

DON'T USE YOUR CREDIT CARD

DON'T USE YOUR CREDIT CARD IF YOUR CC INTEREST RATE IS ABOVE 10%.

Now is the time to fight for your right as a Credit Card Holder. When you read the stipulations to owning a CC, they are in total control, from variable rates, to excessive fees and it can be punishing when you miss a payment or the high interest puts you above you limit, then you are charged an "overlimit fee!"

LET'S ALL USE CASH, CHECK, MONEY ORDER AND PAYPAL TO purchase our goods, lets tell the BANKS' we want a rate at 10% or lower. IF we don't get the rate, we will not use their Credit Cards.

If millions of citizens stash their cards away and don't use them, the Banks and CC companies will be like any other business, when demand falls off, they will do a couple of things, Cancel your card for "NON-USE", it happend to me with SEARS, I don't shop at any SEARS stores anymore or they will lower your rate.

IF Millions of cardholders stop using your branded card and used Cash, Each of you will save hundreds of dollars each year, you will actually gain from your purchases.

I have a Capital One card that I refuse to use, because the interest rate is above 20%, It's sits in a box, waiting for daylight,(it won't happen) no matter how commercials they run.

Pass the word, DON'T USE YOUR CREDIT CARD.
EMAIL EVERYONE YOU KNOW.

Corzine for Governor! Again?

How much will he spend this time to be Re-Elected? From what I have heard, Governor Corzine has the lowest approval rating of any New Jersey Governor. While he is attempting to balance the budget, the New Jersey State Union Bosses are opposed to a Wage freeze!

Here is my position on the opposition the Unions are putting to a Wage Freeze.
Cut the hours of most State employees to 24 hours a week, no layoffs, if the Unions insist on a wage hike, then lay-off an equal percentage of Union State employees to keep the budget in the black and continue with a 24 hour work week until the State economy recovers, meaning as long as 24 months as predicted by the economists in Washington, D.C.

Shame on the UAW!



Well, Their you have it! The UAW has rejected the stipulations set by the Senate for the dollars needed to keep the "Legacy" American Auto Industry on life support. Since the UAW refused to agree to the Senate plan.

I propose the Big Three meet their financial metrics by cutting 60% of the employment base.
Here is an example: 1,000 workers earning $75.00 an hour, well, cut it to 400 workers earning $75.00 a hour, discontinue product lines, and spin-off other product lines as independent companies, such as SATURN and PONTIAC.

$75.00 x 1000 employees= $75,000.00
$75.00 x 400 employees = $30,000.00
The UAW membership retains the current wages at the detriment of the other 600 fellow Union members.

Here is a suggestion: Take the 50% pay cut and be fortunate you still have a job or continue to be stubborn and lose your job and your home, your car etc.

I own a Saturn ION, its my third Saturn vehicle. This version of my ION II, cost me more money and offered me less extra's, It also runs poorly and its a 2007 model.

My next car will be a "HONDA Hybrid!"

I will not support the American Three from this day forward: GM, Chrysler, and Ford.
You can bank on that .

WOW! BEEN A LONG TIME

Hello Everyone:

We have a New President: Barack Obama, Yeh Baby!
Now for the good stuff, Gasoline will hit .99 a gallon by Spring, maybe sooner!
The Senate will not bailout the "BIG THREE", say hello to Bankruptcy!
I believe, Congress should force GM & Chrysler to merge!
I believe, GM should spin off Saturn as an independent car company!
I believe, The Big Three needs to introduce fuel efficient cars in 2009, not 2012.

When you hear the politicos, crying that we need an American auto industry, we do have an American auto industry, Honda, BMW, TOYOTA, etc, they all have US plants, Cars are built here in the USA. Do we really need to keep GM, Chrysler, and Ford limping along? I don't think so!!!

Hey check out my new website: www.lumberkings.biz

Take a look at my latest T-shirts!

Have a great day and GO PHILS!

IT'S TIME FOR A NATIONAL PRIMARY

It's Time for a "A NATIONAL PRIMARY" for both parties. Here is how I see it.
New Hampshire, Iowa, South Carolina, Nevada, & Florida, would have the first two weeks to themselves. 45 to 60 days later, the entire nation woul vote in a national primary to determine their Parties Nominees for President an Vice President.

Then each party will not need to have a National Convention, unless no candidate attains 30% of the votes cast. IF all candidates fall below the 30% votes cast, then the major parties would hold a nominating convention of all the delegates, Their would be "NO SUPER DELEGATES", AND the convention will go through the necessary balloting to reach a consensus without the smoked filled room and in open view of the public. NO SECRET BALLOTS.

I believe this national primary would be more exciting and balance the playing field allowing darkhorse candidates and regualr JOE's to emerge and I believe we can have Real Leadership for the first time in 8-years.

Let me know what you think.

REMEMBER TO DUMP TRUMP STOCK, IT WILL BE A PENNY STOCK BY CHRISTMAS!!!
