I know I should pay more attention when new stocks come out, but this has got to be the dumbest stock ever put on PPX. The next stock should payout at $100 if PPX returns to being about science and technology (hell even science fiction like some of the movie stocks is better than this), and will pay short if it continues to slide into current events.

Hey bkdude,

Short answer: yes.

roy-- get vetting, man, in the stock approval forum!

But... but... But what if he gets injured in a freak feta-making accident and the authorities only discover his true identity as he's dying in an emergency room, and they put the cuffs on him as he's drawing his last breath?

Or if he dies in the throes of passion during a mano-a-mano with the lovely undercover police-boy sent to infiltrate his band of boodthirsty thieves? He'd certainly be "captured" then.

Or what if they only capture him spiritually and psychologically, and he becomes a rogue agent for law and order?

Inquiring minds wanna know.

V-- you're a good writer.

Why thank you. I have an Associate's Degree in Alliterative Arts from the Shreveport Seminary of Hyperdramatic Synopsification, and I guess the rigorous training shows through.

So how's it go, huh? Short or Long? These stories don't just end themselves, you know.
