HiBlow:
I just finished reading reading Ali and your posts this AM. Now I think I understand.
From your brethren Ali Baba:
Let me ask you a counter-question. Why would a Intel's
fab manager refuse to make P-4's and switch his
production to some Athlon derivatives? Huh?
wow. I know guys like you. I call them the "pointy-headed ones." Technological prima-donnas who always know better than management. Technically smart, but so nihilistic in thought process and so self absorbed that their perception of reality is warped to the point that they cannot differentiate up from down. Management dumb, R&D and Engineering smart. A self destructive path, as exemplified by the tragic waste of your time and efforts on this board. Just calculate the financial gains you could have derived from consulting or investing (in RMBS or other stocks) as a result of the hundred, maybe thousands, of hours you have spent cataloguing, researching and posting just to show us how stupid we all are. Smart technicians with these traits (like you and brethren), be they engineers or docs, are a dime a dozen. I sure hope this mythical INTC fab manager, IF he did exist, was fired within 10 seconds of taking that stand. It would be bad management if he wasn't. But then, what do you and your ilk know of management...
It takes the big guys just about as long as the little guys to figure out something isn't working. No human likes to admit he was wrong, so they go on believing what they want to believe until the facts are forced upon them. Here are some great examples of CEOs that were forced into margin call situations by holding too much of their own stock...Note that the above examples are not all the cases of where management went down with the ship, they are just examples of where it became public knowledge that management took out so much loans that they defaulted on their margin agreements, and it became embarrassing public knowledge.
Yeah, that greedy, mean and stupid management again. What do YOU know about taking the BIG gamble, putting it all on line, and then going down with the ship? You crack me up, big guy.
