Medical alert : "Wicklund found to have half a brain". Medical researchers at the local university have concluded Jim Wicklund, noted energy analyst at Bank of America , has only half of a brain. The year long neurological investigation was funded by BOA clients who were irate that they missed the tremendous run up in energy services since last May when Wicklund advised them to " be gone for a while". One plaintiff said " I followed his advice and missed the major increase in the energy complex --he must have half a brain .". That comment was the theoretical basis of the study and led to the hypothesis Wicklund must have at least some intelligence because he later recommended ESV and RDC. By the process of deduction , however, it was concluded that since his continuing target price on PTEN is only 15.50 and the stock is now near 26 he only has part of a brain. Colleagues in the energy field were not surprised. One unnamed source said "We have been worried about Jim for some time. His questions at the NBR and PTEN Conference Calls over the past few years have led to aloofness from Gene Isenberg and snickers from Cloyce Talbott." Other sources said Wicklund's luncheon speech at a recent CSFB Conference in San Francisco solidified their opinion that he was either drinking heavily or had half a brain. The scientists who conducted the study said there is no known cure for Wicklund's ailment but recommended he read each and every post on Silicon Investor's Boom Boom Room as part of rehabilitation. Regular readers of this column will recognise this is the same group of scientists who discovered that Fred Leuffler had only one buttock --a condition which led to Bear Stearn's "half assed" energy calls over the past four years --
