Retired, and recovering, lawyer coming back to online forums. I've been here before, and have many friends who are deeply involved in the Wiki world; it can be used for much good, it can be used for much bad. I only want to do good.

My interests are mainly in the areas of corporate mergers and acquisitions, and leaders in business and politics, trying to keep them honest! But, I love to just browse too. I look at geopolitical, and market trends. I examine mainly publicly traded companies where strong "buy" or "sell" suggestions have been made by the "experts", and I examine the experts as well. I will swiftly, but politely, delete anything that is not supported by sources, that appears to be used to "pump" stock (even without dump intent), or that seems irrelevant to issues or articles. I don't tolerate vandalism, or people who seem to have an axe to grind against companies or other people.

Feel free to leave a message on my talk page here with any comments or questions.



Monteleone chariot
The Monteleone chariot is an Etruscan chariot, dated to circa 530 BC, that was uncovered in 1902 at Monteleone di Spoleto in Umbria, Italy, in an underground tomb covered by a mound. It was part of a chariot burial, containing the remains of two human corpses along with two drinking cups. Measuring 131 centimetres (51+58 inches) in height and designed to be drawn by two horses, the chariot itself is constructed of wood covered with hammered bronze plates and carved ivory decoration. The Monteleone chariot is now in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.Artifact credit: unknown Etruscan sculptor; photographed by the Rogers Fund and the Metropolitan Museum of Art
