Al: Ever consider taking your "investing act" on the road. You know there's a market for humor even among investors. Good investors know the value of taking responsibility and have long sinced learned to laugh at themselves when mistakes are made, etc. There's always another day, month, year, etc. One man's loss is another man's gain. There's a psychic balance to everything and you seem to be gifted at sharing at least this balance of your "state" with your famous "sign-off".
I'll have to mull over this "idea" of mine. I know people all over the country from our business. I have a collection of characters - some which I've thought to approach with the idea of signing myself on as their agents for the purpose of putting them on some show or whatever - a slap-stick version of Wall Street Week, or whatever. We've got one guy on our floor who has been in his own world since perhaps the Eisenhower administration - bottle glass glasses, overweight, 100% paper - doesn't throw out a thing - and gets in fights all the time. Yet he's a broker, has clients, etc. Watches the tape all day long. He became a local legend when about 10 years ago some guys convinced him to go skydiving. Well, this guys parachute didn't open all the way - he broke practically every bone in his body but lived to trade another day. I can see him on Letterman.
Sorry for the diversion. Getting back to Nextel.... This thread seems to wander off the path more than I would like - and I'm just as guilty with the current message. Can we try to get more first-hand fedback from the field. JF Q's post recent post was great.
Good luck! |
