<How's those long purchases you made going? I imagine that yesterdays intraday $.65 range started to make you twitch a little( #reply-13892509 )?>
It's more like convulsions than twitching Geoff, with a bonus nervous tic in my eyelid.
One thing that puzzles me, is how did the shorts know that Globalstar wouldn't cut the minute prices in a big way, [which they could have done any day of the year], and caused a sudden huge demand?
My opinion remains that the shorts were like the ignorant but lucky monkey who can pick 10 winners in a row using flippism as a selection device and therefore figures he's a stockmarket genius.
Wow! IT is amazing! I remember 'Flippism' from Donald Duck about 40 years ago. So, since I was using it here and the meaning might not be totally obvious, I thought I'd do a web search. Bingo! One reference, instantly given. go.com
Carl Barks was a great guy.
"Don't bet against the Fed" might be a useful axiom, but "KNEEL BEFORE IT" is more important. Don't even think about betting against IT.
Meanwhile, Texas Instruments just announced a bunch of DSPs [Digital Signal Processors] which will enable IT to deliver pixels to pixilated people at super-duper high speed, so we'll be able to do Web searches like this wherever we are. Including out of range of terrestrial cellphones but in range of Globalstar.
I did another search for 'pixilated parrot', which was an in-love parrot also from Donald Duck about 40 years ago. Bingo again! Though I did have to put a + sign betweeen the words to cut the number of hits down.
Here is The Pixilated Parrot listing [along with the other characters] go.com
You can buy a copy here under the listing 'DONALD DUCK ADVENTURE' 22 ($6.00) Barks c, "Pixilated Parrot" :

One other link here [a comment from somebody who remembered The Pixilated Parrot too and was sad when Carl Barks died last year]. go.com
You need to scroll down to "Tuesday, August 29, 2000"
IT has got some work to do because I want to be able to click and read The Pixilated Parrot on-line, on a Globalstar device.
Carl Barks could have done some great stories about the stockmarket in the 1990s and Y2K.
