    Ringman, I agree with some of your comments but just an insight into
    "the rest of the world". You comments " After all, what other job in
    this world makes you take out a morgage to keep your job? if a
    casting gets blown who pays? Again the jeweler...why do we do this?
    if ya work for another, It's their name to fame! We are just a peon.
    ." is what i want to respond to. My cousin is a stock broker and the
    standard in that business is a follows: "if the client fails to pay
    for a trade then the broker, not the firm is reponsible to pay. the
    position is closed out and if there is a shortfall, the broker has
    top pay the brokerage firm the difference. if the is a profit, the
    brokerage keeps it. hows that for an unfair situation. at least when
    we brake a stone, we are braking the stone. Maybe we sold the stone
    to the customer, maybe they brought it in themselves . Either way,
    our actions make us somewhat culpable. Now, I agree whole heartily
    that the firm the jeweler works for has to take the majority of hit
    on a loss like this, after all they generally don't hand out extra
    bonuses whenever that worker was especially profitable for them, why
    should they penalize them when the become costly. But we do live in a
    world where most of us see our world a little rosier than everyone 
    elses. Andrew Goodell
