<Money has a time value. If you do not believe that it will earn you money over time then it is losing you money. The smart thing to do would be move on not standing still while your money loses value. I bought because I happen to think the company will make me money and not in the long term but in the short term. I might
be wrong.>
Here is a little humor to cheer you up Dave, while you face disappointment in your NOVL investment in short term. Although I find it humorous I believe this IS the formula Novell management has been using during last six months:
-----------------
After applying some simple algebra to some trite phrases and cliches a new understanding can be reached of the secret to wealth and success.
Here it goes.
Knowledge is Power
Time is Money and as every engineer knows,
Power is Work over Time.
So, substituting algebraic equations for these time worn bits of wisdom,we get:
K = P (1)
T = M (2)
P = W/T (3)
Now, do a few simple substitutions:
Put W/T in for P in equation (1), which yields:
K = W/T (4)
Put M in for T into equation (4), which yields:
K = W/M (5).
Now we've got something. Expanding back into English, we get:
Knowledge equals Work over Money.
What this MEANS is that:
1. The More You Know, the More Work You Do, and
2. The More You Know, the Less Money You Make.
Solving for Money, we get:
M = W/K (6)
Money equals Work Over Knowledge.
From equation (6) we see that Money approaches infinity as Knowledge approaches 0, regardless of the Work done.
What THIS MEANS is:
The More you Make, the Less you Know.
Solving for Work, we get
W = M K (7)
Work equals Money times Knowledge
From equation (7) we see that Work approaches 0 as Knowledge approaches 0.
What THIS MEANS is:
The stupid rich (Novell Brass!) do little or no work .
Working out the socioeconomic implications of this breakthrough is left as an exercise for the reader.
