OTOT
<<<Another one I let go too early on.>>>
The list is too long, we would need a new thread to
discuss those.(g)
After from being semi-bearish or cautious all year, I found it hard to put the horned helmet on and charge. But about October 25 th it seems the bears recognized there would be no (predicted) major crash and started to cover, excepting perhaps Dell.(g)
To get away for a bit, Monday I drove East 5 hrs and
found I was still in Texas, 905 miles from El Paso and getting further away from home each mile, (its only 957 miles from Copenhagen to Rome). I could see we could not make it another 600 East miles
to visit Lee and return home for earnings(hahaha).
When we crossed the Louisiana border my car sighted a
CASINO sign, automatically turned right, and died in the parking lot.
I was forced to stay overnight there on a riverboat with a
bunch of gamblers. I was playing red $5 chips (the minimum) at a
crap table, while the adjacent player used prettier ones.
The next morning I met him again when he informed me he had lost $4600. Since he was a qcom shareholder I figured it did not hurt
but he said "Well,I don't own that much".
He thought Jan was my daughter when we don't look alike
at all. Sheeeeeeeesh, as Mo would say.
My expectation for Dell is about the same as many here,will meet or beat the estimate, 18 or 19, with a some chance for a bit more.

greg:<your stock picks> so glad the thread respects you so highly. You are one of the best parts, of this thread. I bet if you actually DID have a way to run a small fund, you would have some very ready participants here.
Your never ending ability to follow the market, and to spot new opportunities, and to be honest, critical, and loving to the thread---all of the above---are exceptional. I know you constantly repeat how you have gotten alot OUT of this thread, but in all fairness, I just felt like thanking YOU again, this morning.
Others here, lead in other ways. No question about it. And btw I have felt this way about your skills for a LONG time, watching you here. I remember fondly, the time you responded to a question from me about your background. Your wonderfully lengthy and funny response, was a classic, for me. You revealed extensively, alot of the PATH you have taken, to GET "here"... And my feelings were NOT just based on your qcom call, although that ALONE, of course makes this kind of an observation easy for most on this thread. (I wonder how many MILLIONS you made, for some here, on THAT call alone.)
I always felt that a few like you, would make the right balance, for this thread. This thread, should be the CENTER of the best investment advice, and ideas.
And I'm also having these thoughts now, because you and sig are talking. Sig has also, had this kind of an impact on me.
I ALSO have received alot from this thread. The feelings of loyalty and friendship alone, have great meaning to me. Locating "friends" you may never meet, through their writings, has been a very interesting exercise, for me. At times, I have been very critical of some here, but have only once, been "attacked". (Three days ago someone who never posts, sent me a horrible email. The guy "sounds" like a nut.)
I am only sorry, that so many "strong" persons, have been somehow lost, "along the way", of this thread...Can't figure out how to change that...Any thoughts? TIA
p.s. persons I miss here (or would like to hear much more from), NOT in any order, include chuzzlewit, edamo,mo,venkie(i know i know---the house, the house), chuzzlewit,wmb, voltaire, uncle frank, sonki,john koligman, and chuzzlewit)
