Hey David, You're up there in the DC area. Do you have any cronies at the Fed, or know any superlawyers such as Vernon Jordan? After I thought about the preferential treatment accorded Messrs. Meriwether, Merton, and Scholes at Long Term Capital Management, I believe goodhearted old Al Greenspan might be persuaded to arrange a bailout for Sam Orr's Stock Stupidities. Rather than play with relative value arbitrage, as they did, betting short on U.S. Treasurys and long on "high risk" bonds, I just figured IDTI would manufacture 300M Hz WinChip 2 microprocessors and make a killing. I even provided my own leverage, but now that IDTI's stock price is in the tank, my ex-wife client is threatening to send me to the afterworld. I find that personally life-threatening, and would like Big Al and other central bankers to extend to me the same sympathy they did to our globe's bond market. At least I pay my taxes over here.
While it's true any interest Merrill Lynch executives would have in my transactions might be limited to my ex-wife, I'd appreciate any buttressing they or other large, custom brokerage houses could arrange. If you can put in a good word about me to the president and Mr.Rubin, that could help, too. My motto is to sell short, but never be curt.
You're way ahead on your DELL, but there's a long road still ahead. Give your wife my best in the coming blessed event. Regards, Sam |
