Congratulations to all bulls great and small who have come from around the world to gather in the green pastures outside of Austin Texas. In celebration of a historic event, the 5th Dell split in 39 months, which seems to be a new record. Despite the relentless pursuit of bears, who have: Set fires at the launch pad Shot at the Mother ship Tried to hijack or derail the Dell trains Torpedo the Dell cruise liner Prayed for rain on the numerous parades and parties Crash one of Kembles barbeques Puncture our beautiful ballon Or just generally been a pain in the neck The defence lines have wavered but never broken. We are honored by the presence today of many surviving veterans Among them: Pat Mc Daniel Paul Rueben Rosemary David Weis Jim Kelley John Koligman John Hauser Meathead Rudedog Joe Protenko And even Victoria Gates, MD ( who is much the same as ever) And finally Rob Grogg the founder of Dell SI, and the honorable Mr Three(aka.jbn3, aka Bachman, aka Alison's other) All have stood firm and resolute in the face of flaming attacks by fierce and infamous bears- Candlestick, Steve,Hank and Hank, Flamethower, JP., LT.,and others. But the red sun has set on the Sea of Japan,where the market is up 5%. All other countries are up but three.The NAS is up 3300. Dell, Intel and Yahoo are running green..... Lookouts have been posted this morning to warn of marauding bears and the bear traps have been reset and freshly baited with dead crows. Let the festivities begin with a final farewell to the bears. alaike.lcc.hawaii.edu Sig |
