Don, One last thing. Some posts back you mentioned something regarding a big time investor like Stuart doesn't necessarily mean that he can't make an investment mistake. Habib from Jackson Hole also mentioned something to that effect. Well you're both right and here is a case to prove it... ALFRED S. TEO. I won't take the time to explain all that I know about him. He is a self made man. Worth hundreds of millions. You can't buy any plastic wrap, commericial or otherwise that doesn't come from Teo. At any rate Teo made a substantial investment in Cirrus Logic. He claimed that he represented a group, however he only invested his own money. This was just some of it:

Teo now sits on the board of Cirrus claiming that he won't sell until Cirrus reaches $40. A poison pill plan was put into effect that stopped him in his tracts. Cirrus closed today Aug 10 at 8 1/4$. So much for large investors. Now you know why I watch my chips. If you want to know more about Teo send me a private e-mail. |
