I have watched Maria forever. I have always been involved in a small way with Wall Street. I have watched lots of the money programs to try to learn about market changes and what is safe and smart, at the same time. Maria has a very capturing image of smart, beautiful, very kind and generous. She has grown with Wall Street. I for one, trust her comments and knowledge. She is never trying sell anything, but she can hold you attention and make every day interesting. She is the best !!

My question ~ is Wall Street interested in a person who is still working hard, saving money, trying to share and doing the right things in life. I have been investing in the market since I was in my twenties and still am at 68 years old. I have this vision ~ that someone, such as myself who has no name anyone will recognize and that is unheard of, is your every day woman thinking of ringing the bell at closing or opening of Wall Street. I think to have someone like me, do what only the executive, rich, the person with the name and know all the right people usually does. I'm thinking the public and the world would like to see someone of this description, ring the bell for opening or closing the market. I have learned in my life, it doesn't hurt to try or ask for anything in life and keep every day challenging. Nothing is impossible. I just think this would be neat and I don't know why I would even want to do this. There has to be a good reason why I would think someone would be reading this and feel it has any substance. (smile)

I do and will always praise God for all the many, many ways I have been blessed. My God watch over us all !!

Sincerely and may God Bless !!
