With all the turmoil in the market today and the collapse of Lehman Bros and acquisition of Merrill Lynch by Bank of America this might be some good advice.

For all of you with any money left, be aware of the next expected mergers so that you can get in on the ground floor and make some BIG bucks.

Watch for these consolidations in later this year:

1. Hale Business Systems, Mary Kay Cosmetics, Fuller Brush, and W R. Grace Co. Will merge and become:
Hale Mary Fuller Grace

2. Polygram Records, Warner Bros., and Zesta Crackers join forces and become:

No reference to the union of Dire Straits and Chris Rea? I would be the first to buy a record by Chris Straits.
