Verbstocks
From Wiktionary under the GNU Free Documentation License. Stocks are devices used since medieval times for torture, public humiliation, and corporal punishment. The stocks partially immobilized its victims and they were often exposed in a public place such as the site of a market to the scorn of those who passed by. Since the purpose was to punish offenders against the standards of conduct of the time anybody could assault, revile or aim filth at the victim. Form and applicationThe stocks are similar to the pillory and the pranger, as each consists of large, hinged, wooden boards; the difference, however, is that when a person is placed in the stocks, their feet are locked in place, and sometimes as well their hands or head, or these may be chained. With stocks, boards are placed around the legs or the wrists, whereas in the pillory they are placed around the arms and neck and fixed to a pole, and the victim stands. However, the terms can be confused, and many people refer to the pillory as the stocks. Since stocks served an outdoor public form of punishment its victims were subjected to the daily and nightly weather. As a consequence it was not uncommon for people kept in stocks over several days to die from heat exhaustion or hypothermia. The practice of using stocks continues to be cited as an example of torture, cruel and unusual punishment. Insulting, kicking, spitting and in some cases urinating and defecating on its victims could be applied at the free will of any of those present. From Wikipedia under the

I want to buy stocks tomorrow and hopefully sell in 3 months for a profit. Asked by Bluebean - Thu May 22 18:38:46 2008 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments A. Putting money you need in 3 months into the stock is a bad idea. If you want to make a safe 3 month investment, buy Wrigley. It sells for around $77.50 and is being bought out for $80.00. A guaranteed return plus a dividend or two. The buyout might take more 3 months though, but you could sell it and it most likely will be higher.
