El: Which ticker? My pacemaker?? <ggg>
For fun I ran Greenberg's column through the "cockney" setting on the Dialectizer .....
The chuffin' Wednesday Wallop:
Analyst antics: Lampoonin' analysts is one of this column's favorite pastimes. The exception is wen they stick their necks on the line wiv the chuffin' sort of negative call that can break -- as well as make -- a career, init?As readers of this column are no doubt sick of 'earin', that's just wot Piper Jaffray's Ashok Kumar did several weeks ago wiv Dell (DELL:Nasdaq). Yer can't 'ave a knees-up wivout a joanna.
Kumar came out and warned about possible top-line growff problems at Dell. But wen 'e made that call he were lampooned as some bloke 'oom investors always bet against ter make brass. Not this time. Late yesterday, right, Dell reported profits in line wiv expectations, but revenue growff were not as strong as 'oped. The stock plunged in after-hours tradin', do wot guvnor!
For some reason much of the credit for dinging Dell is gonna Dan Niles, right, of Robertson Stephens, 'oose timin' of last Friday's call couldn't 'ave been better. (Nice call, Dan.) But Kumar wins in this column's books for bein' first ter break from the herd, init?
(Interestin' 'ow eerily quiet me email were last night. As of 6 p.m. Right. EST, not a singgle message about Dell.)
