Citrix: Well, JW, I know a guy who...
...rode it UP and then GREAT BIG BACK DOWN, with utter sheer confidence in his M/L broker prodding him on all the way ...
Does that count? He was 'in love' with the stock.
Hi to all. I'm in a "George Carlin" style mood after renting "George Carlin's Best Stuff" video yesterday ... gonna watch it again ... LOL! (Yes, this one has several memorable bytes on the "seven words never said on TV," which I still wonder if same on SI ... <g> ... shall I 'test' Uncle SI Bob? <g> ... will he put me in 'jail?' LOL ... I'll think of some way to do it ... later)
I think Carlin should do a "stock market" segment ... and I've already got some ideas for it ... think he might be interested in 'collaborating'? I think I'll email him ...
Such as:
"You roll out of bed and get online as usual to check the Yahoo! and Reuters overnight news stories to read that, somehow, that the currency of some godforsaken country east of Afghanistan has been devalued by 85% overnight ... and has a potential, virtual revolution on its hands and ... most importantly, because of the f**k**g time difference, Asian markets are in the GODDAMN TOILET ...
AARRRRRGGGGGHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Run out front door in panic ... race up and down the street ... to wake up the neighbors (also retail investors), barefoot and in bathrobe ... banging on doors ...
"GET UP!!! GET UP!!!! Don't you people realize what's HAPPENED? The f***k**g Portuguese guinea has dropped like a m**f***ng STONE overnight and we're gonna lose EVERYTHING WE HAVE -- PLUS, our ASSES -- as SOON AS THE MARKET OPENS!!!"
Race back inside ... check all the Internet sites ... Oh shit ... WHAT will this MEAN????? To the TECH SECTOR? To JDSU? To MSFT, for chrissakes? SUNW? INTC? CSCO?
ARRRGGGGGHHHHH!!!
Get broker on phone...not in yet... well, it's 5:47 a.m. CDT ... breaking speed limits all the way, race downtown to the toney office barefoot in bathrobe ... and WAIT FOR THE a**h*** sitting outside the door drinking machine coffee ...
When the lazy, arrogant, commission-grabbing SOB finally noncholantly strolls in @ 9:00, you grab the c*ks**er by his custom-tailored-in-Hong-Kong lapels and shake him 'til his teeth rattle ... "You m*f!!!! Tell me what to do!!! SELL? Or buy more? Calls? Puts? Or SELL CCs? Sell puts?
... to be continued ...
<g>
I can do better than this ... I'll keep working on it ...
ANYBODY who likes George Carlin ... do yourself a favor and rent "Best Stuff."
