Jeff,
You would have to bring up those missed opportunities in the stock market.
However,  the one I would have liked to get in on was the one that Hilary
Rodham-Clinton got when she was able to turn $1,000 into $100K in 9 months.

Seriously, when all the action was taking place with companies like
Microsoft and others, I was working for IBM and wasn't supposed to invest in
the competition.   Anybody want to buy a bundle of IBM stock?

Bud
