LARRY : " Outsiders reading SI ". That was intended to be a joke LARRY but I guess
I must have put it in such realistic terms that you believed it.
[ I hope Peppe didn't buy it. ( he buys everything CSCO sells so you never know :-) )]
Oh well, back to bashing NN.
Here is my point Larry.
Best illustrated with an example:
Imagine you are a farmer LARRY ( no, not Jimmy Carter ),
just you LARRY. And that you got a nice truckload of
apples to sell. What do you think is the best thing to say so that you can sell your load:
a) " come on everybody come and get these class A apples fresh from the garden! "
or
b) hey, nobody come even close to these truck because these apples are rotten
full of disease, but if you wanna buy
them they are yours."
Do you think apples b) will sell LARRY?
Think of NN as apples LARRY. Canadian apples if you wish that's all right
( they got to make a living too in Canada, and they ae human too ).
Now as far as CSCO reading this thread. You never know. These threads are the
unadulterated voice of the people: vox populii so to speak.
If I were a CEO and was humble enough to be concerned that at times I might turn into a jerk,
( not good for Business ) and really wanted to know how people perceive me,
I wouldn't be asking my lieutenants' opinions right? You know they'll say " you are the greatest LARRY ".
No, I would come right here on SI, or YHOO, or Raging Bull.
There I would be able to learn exactly what king of jerk I am, just like your description of TM.
See LARRY?
So just in case NT reads this thread, or Siemens who knows ,
pump up NN and tell 'em this is the best there is
since apple pie.
This way you and all of us LARRY the soonest we can all go home
and enjoy New Year's Super Bowl. I know of at least three guys
in this thread who are ready to do this at a seconds notice: Bob, Peppe and Frodo.
So do all of us and yourself a favor:be nice to NN; just till the sale. Is it a deal?
:-)

Well, first of all, I do not believe that any potential buyer, if there are any, would believe any statement made here by anyone without first checking it out. Secondly, ZO
does all of the cheerleading, and for all of those who believe him, including his statements that are pure fiction, the stock price is still not being helped. Do you really
believe his statement about the lack of $ amounts for ATM contracts? How could he make up something like that? How could he expect anyone to even believe it?
The bottom line, to an outsider, it really makes no difference what is said here. |
