Andrew,
It's Sat afternoon 1:25 pm.
I havent checked the Hotmail account yet to read what you had published on DY, but I will shortly. I am in deep on DY (1,000 shs) at average price of $35 1/2...averaged up Friday.
I spoke with the CEO personally yesterday, Mr. Thomas Pledger. Dycom, as you know, is local to me. First I spoke with his secretary Lisa. She told me he had been on the phone for 2 solid days returning concerned shareholder phonecalls. I had asked her if it was possible to put my name on a list and she said yes. We got to chatting (this girl sounded so fine)...anyway, a few minutes of my charm went a long way because within 5 mins, I had Pledger himself on the horn. He sounded overly optimistic regarding this entire newsletter incident, and in fact, called it "bogus". He told me not to be concerned at all, especially if I were in the stock as an investor. He told me that daytraders are all over DY, and that is just adding to volatility. I told him I agreed but that I do not daytrade..hehe...I even insulted daytraders to make him feel at ease.
Anyway..I asked him if DY was planning on sueing the newsletter, but he said that's highly unlikely but that Dy general council is on it.
We then chatted about trivial things, like who I was and how long I lived in Florida...a real nice guy overall...very intelligent and good with words. At the end I asked him when earnings were due out and he said monday. I then asked him "Will I me smiling or frowning after reading the report?" He said, "You will be relieved"..whatever that meant. I can only assume they will also address this newsletter incident in the earnings PR , or seperately...looks like they will come out inline. I received no negative feedback from Pledger and feel good about my position in DY.
Hope this helps. BTW, dont us original schmucks somehow get grandfathered in to receiving your newsletter gratis? Hey..I had to try.
