Earlie -- How about that HWP earnings release and CC! Gosh, listening to the call and hearing the zombie analysts parade on by until Fred Hickey tore them a new ***hole, I was just astonished! To hear the lady bird CEO say that they were giving qualitative guidance but no quantitative info. on orders, and to hear her imply that that was more than adequate . . . and then to hear the CFO (!) tell Fred Hickey that he didn't understand the problem with receivables skyrocketing, with financing receivables doubling, up almost $1 billion! Wow. Of course, the stock goes to pluto today, up 13 points! I am starting to think that a competent and honest management is a liability in this mania! But then again, that is why Lew Platt got sacked . . . -- Robert
