LE's quite the showman
but I don't trust him worth spit.
this may be ORCL's turnaround
quarter, but if they don't make
north of .30, this stock won't
see an up day till Winter as the
summer quarter always sucks.
Wish you luck here. I got screwed
by AMD just like you did with CPQ.
Hope ORCL does not prove the rule;
If CEO's have to sell their stocks
to Wall St. it's only because the
fundemental numbers alone don't.
Here's some tidbits for CPU shareholders:
I go to the newest NYC store in Queens and
I ask where would I find a serial cable
for an external modem. The salesman takes
me to the MacIntosh area, and he can't figure
out why all there is there are RJ45 and mini-din
cables. Then when I explain to HIM it can't
be here, so he runs to over to 2 corporate exec
salesmen with nothing to do, and they point
us to another part of the store. Finally I
find the cable on my own, but it's in the wrong
spot on the pegboard. So I walk over to the
2 corporate salemen with nothing better to do
and ask them for a price check on the 6' and
10' versions of the same cable. As he's looking
it up he say's, "it's probably $24.99" which is
proposerously expensive, and finally the computer
tells him it's $14.99 so then he say's, oh I'll
bet the 10' is over $20, and when he checks, it
comes up the SAME $14.99 price! Needless to say
the 6' one was suppose to be $12.99, but it was
in the computer wrong, and the exec salesman was
completely unfazed. I paid for the 10' cable
and as I was leaving, I joked with the cashier
that Staples may be buying them out. She considered
it for a moment, and then said "well, I don't give
a sh~t cause working here ain't what MY life's all
about". Just another pleasent shopping experience
at everyone's favorite computer store.... |
