Oh Master Wizard, You touch upon a painful subject:
I have one rule carved in stone. Never, ever send money of any kind to Orange County. There are real scoundrels down there amongst the orange peels. This is the short sad story of a boy and his foolishness. A company called BRAXX beckoned from said county with enticements that would make a certified GOOFI blush with delight. Silver futures! Money was going to flow like the rivers of the central valley, deep strong, continuous. It did, for a while. One way, down there. Nothing back. Braxx is now gone. So is mister Braxx, so is the money. The court case did nothing. The property claims sit unfulfilled and the money ? Its paid for a very steep tuition in keeping your money close to home.
Janice exceeds the boundaries of my imagination. No, she will come I have faith, and patience. You may laugh and jest and taunt, but I believe! Its the GOOFI thing to do. Besides she is being drawn towards Maurice's ash spewing geothermic eruption. Its destiny.
Some goofi thoughts, semiconductor-wise. As of Friday closing prices, year over year stock price performance: alsc down 84%, amd down 66%, altr down 47%, cy down 58%, crus down 57%, exar down 59%, issi down 84%, idti down 64%, lsi down 60%, intc down a meager 6%, lltc down 27%, logc down 70%, mcrl down 35%, nsm down 54%, opti down 78%, oakt down 62%, prdm down 83%, qual down 62%, sera down 50%, vlsi down 60%, trid down 55%, mu down 72%, mot down 29%, and txn down 44%.
The dam has collapsed! The creatures are flopping about in the sun. I'm getting a tingly feeling all over rereading this. The mud is deep and there's a pungent aroma in the air.
