<<P.S. Rocky is still my favorite bear.>>
Regarding the above statment, I agree. In the darkest of times, like the last two months, the first place I visit is SI. Why you ask? Because I want to be surrounded by people I know and share their views and pain just like in good times.
However, what ends up taking place instead is we get all sorts of strangers posting and cluttering the board with all kinds of nonsense, "I told you so" and rubbing it in you face mentality. So rather than coming here for a fresh prespective and calmity (sp?) one ends up flustered, helpless and full of tension, IMO. cRocky is welcome here becuase, in my view, is a part of this thread. Depite the rehtric!
I think KE has done a great job for IOM, however, this company has gotten very large in a small time frame. In order to insure the company's survival for the next five years, managment personnel with more experience are needed. So to that I say thakns alot KE, you have done a great job and sorry to see you go. Wish you the best of luck in your future endeavers.
Some one mentioned earlier that IOM should merge with a bigger company to gain bigger access to the market. I brought this topic up a couple of weeks ago, however, other than your reply not much else was said. I definately think that they need to merge with a bigger company in order for Zip and Clik!
I think that a difference of opinion is definately has taken place in the last couple of months, which makes me wonder, who's idea to split the stock anyway's? What were the true motives behined it? Especially with the earnings warning, the revenue shortfall was totall surprise, no? If not, why split?
Rather than blaming KE, no one mentioned Mr. Dunn. Pardon my ignorance, but, shouldn't he take some heat also? Instead of hiding behined KE? (I'm asking this question to all and would like to know)
Lastly, I'm glad the DOW didn't hit 9000, one more day for CNBC to put their special 4-7 programing celebration on hold. Personnally, I hope the Dow doesn't close at 9000 for another month or so. I mean seriously, what kind of BS is that? If I wanted that kind of programing I would tune in and watch those silly sitcoms everynite. Sitcoms that assume you have an attention deficit disorder and appeal to the largest mass audience. Glad CNN doesn't follow that mentality and preserves somekind of professionalism.
Now, having just talked about being profesional, allow me to act a little childesh and get this off my chest:
MARK HINES, LOSE SOME WEIGHT YOU BIG FAT SLOB!! AND DON'T GET IN FRONT OF A CAMERA WITH A COUGH DROP IN YOU MOUTH AND TRY TO READ THE CREDIT REPORT AT THE SAME TIME. I REALIZE YOU'VE BEEN DOING THIS FOR A LONG TIME AND IT'S ALL VERY SIMPLE TO YOU, HOWEVER, SHOW A LITTLE CLASS AND REPECT FOR THE VIEWRS. YOU DON'T SEE LOU DOBBS DOING THE SAME THING?
AND ONE MORE THING, STOP TRASHING KE, IF YOU CAN TAKE A COMPANY FROM SALES OF 100MM TO 1.7B, THEN YOU HAVE EVERY RIGHT TO TRASH TALK HIM ALL YOU WANT, IN THE MEAN TIME LEAVE THE GUY ALONE.
AFTER ALL, HOW HARD IS YOUR JOB?
