What a horrible idea. I guess everyone knew it would happen sooner or later, and now that it is in the news, I’m sure other people will start doing it is well.

What is even worse is that he could have waited a couple years until right before the next rise in rates and bought a lot of forever stamps then. At least then he would have his $8000 earning interest until that time. (That’s not even getting into the argument that $8000 is way too many stamps).

It sounds like this guy needs to start reading Flexo’s blog!
