>>Joe, Of the 4 forces in the universe, gravity is still the strongest. Which jump direction are you referring to? Up or down? Or do you just mean we were startled that a lofty periodical like Barrons deigned to mentioned us?<<
Hmm, well know you got me thinking. I guess I explained it
better than I thought. My meaning was that in the past,
Barron's would cause a slight movement upward, but nothing
significant, and then the stock would resume going
downward<g>. Is this now consistent with the law of physics?<g>
>>Joking aside, are you a soccer fan? I wasn't until this year (and only after France beat Croatia). What's really touching for me watching these matches, besides my love for many things French, is to hear Seamus Malin (my college advisor) commenting. I can't
fathom how this man changed my life. Thank you, Seamus!<<
Was Seamus Malin commenting as in 'being a sports commentator'?
No, I'm not a soccer fan. I'm a somewhat retired tennis fan.
I know that when France gets into the finals of the Davis cup,
or a Frenchman does well in a Grand Slam tournament, it's
amazing how lots of them react...very outright emotionally,
crying in public. They feel very emotional for themselves
and their country. Other tennis atheletes get pretty emotional
themselves (usually seen in anger...cussing, racket throwing),
but never crying. (usually the women are more
like this). So, I figure if French tennis players get that
emotional from tennis victories, I can imagine the tremendous
emotional response by the whole country in the biggest sport
of the world. I suspect the entire country is taking a few
days off, and having a non-stop balling episode for a good
while.<gg>
BTW, I consider this a good thing, (gets us off the hook
with women's gripes about men not showing our emotions)...but
just making an observation that the French have an 'interesting'
culture. |
