Whoa, Tex.
Peter Sprague took National Semiconductor from receivership to $2 Billion dollars. Far be it from me to judge you, or any other detractor's lifestyle in the mix, but I'd say he has earned the right to live like a King, if that were his choosing. Nice work if you can get it, huh? I suppose if you were in his boots, (and as a long time long, I'm grateful that you're not!) you might be redeeming a nugget or two yourself. Dang! Any idea what the original issue valuation was? Just curious.
On the issue of a 60% pullback, Dagnabbit, are ya sure ya wanna play that statistical hand, cowpoke? Look back a year. Seems that WAVX, which is still in the earliest stages of a very carefully orchestrated deployment, is up over 300% from this time, July '98. Heck, it had been up over 700% fer sure, with no real reason to support it there, for dang sure, but I'm a lookin' at the horizon, as are most fellow longs.
And finally, nobody begrudges you for arguing your case. Tempers have flared here recently. You entered this here saloon just after a particularly repulsive group of vermin have fled. And I might add, to your credit, you at least attempt to support your position with facts. Right or wrong, you fight fair, and you earn people's respect for that.
Carpe Diem,
