Different Co. , same jerk.
BIG MAN ON CAMPUS.... Lookie, it's Tom Kurlak,
Uberchip analyst at Merrill Lynch. Wow! This guy went
out on limb today. Way out. He announced that Micron
Technology (JR Simplot's own personal chip house),
which began the day at over $31, should be a $20
stock! Can you believe it?! When most analysts
downgrade a stock, they move it from "highly
recommended to strong buy," or some such mealy-mouth
drivel. Kurlak blew 'em out of the water! Micron fell
almost $3, or over 9% on the news, to $28.50. Hey
Kurlak, watch out! Ol' JR's gonna run you down with
his Lincoln Continental (Mr. Spud license plates).
Other chippies -- Intel, TI, AMD -- were all down on
the Kurlak edict. (There were also fears of Korean
chip dumping.) No question: today's rally would have
been bigger if not for Kurlak. Gee, thanks Tom! Why
don't you work at home next week!!!
