To All;

I am not currently a SGI investor though, I have been and lost money. I was checking this BB for a friend who is an investor. I noticed something interesting about the stock's 1 yr. chart on Big Charts.com. The SGI chart and the SEG chart are almost identical. I am an investor in SEG, 4800 shares. I am sure all of you know Seagate. We expect big things from SEG in the next 12-18 mos. 55-60 this year and perhaps 72-75 within 18 mos.

This letter was addressed to Thomas A. Watson. Your namesake was the man who built the Modern IBM. Any relation?

Now I have a riddle. Do you all like a little humor? Follow this. The answers are at the bottom but don't look until you've cast your ballot.

There are 3 candidates for the Presidency.

Cand. A Is a man who drinks 8-10 martinis every day.
He has 2 mistresses.
He likes to hang out with local ward heelers in his district.
He is an inveterate liar. He will lie to anyone about anything, including his wife. He seems to enjoy it and it seems to tickle his sense of humor.

Cand. B He is definitely an alcoholic.
He doesn't rise until noon.
He drinks a full quart of brandy every night.
While not an inveterate liar, he will definitely lie, under oath if it suits his purpose.
He is also a pompous, aristocratic asshole.
He may have or have had mistresses.

Cabd. C He is a highly decorated war hero.
He drinks an occasional beer.
He has no illicit affairs.
He is passionate about telling the truth to the body politic, as he sees it.

Based on the information supplied which candidate would you give serious consideration. Answers, below.

Candidate A Franklin Roosevelt ( Probably, lied about Pearl Harbor)
Candidate B Winston Churchill ( lied about "Enigma"even to allies)
Candidate C Adolf Hitler

Scary, huh! A fair warning about oversimplification when we are talking about adults?
