Mike, I can't take this crap any more: 14:15 GARTNER SEE B2B E-COMMERCE TO HIT $7.3TRILLION BY 2004 Assuming that there is no recession in the next 4 years and we grow at 4%/year for next 4 years. The 8.7 tril economy with a 4% growth will be at about 10 tril by 2004. These bozos are forecasting a 73% share of B2B in the GDP??? Whatabout the brick and mortar biz, other retail, govt etc etc? The guys are out to lunch and are drugged out!

Michael, Check out this Bull-speak Glossary: pathfinder.com A tidbit: FINANCIAL JOURNALIST: Before the bull market frenzy, a person who reported on business and investing news. Now it's someone with little or no actual investing experience who tells real investors what they're doing wrong with their money. Speaking of gym teachers, Woody Allen once said, "Those who can, do. Those who can't, teach. And those who can't teach, teach gym." In the case of financial journalists, this witticism translates to: "Those who can, invest. Those who can't, write. And those who can't write, write about investing." Ha! /Kit

Michael, A prediction from the guy who wrote the Bull-speak glossary: 5. Aliens will invade the U.S. stock market. One day, much like a scene from a Grade B science-fiction movie, a new strain of investors will suddenly descend upon American financial markets. The aliens will suggest that stock prices should bear some sane relation to the expected profits. They will use peculiar terms such as "fundamental analysis" and "intrinsic value," and they will recite passages from the writings of Benjamin Graham and David Dodd, two men unknown to 21st century investors. Realizing that such odd views could interfere with the operation of a healthy market in overpriced IPOs, the Wall Street establishment will derisively refer to the aliens as "value investors," a label applied to a tiny group of investors who held similar beliefs in the waning days of the 20th century. After the Great Net Stock Crash of 2013, however, value investing will enjoy a resurgence, and Graham and Dodd's groundbreaking 1934 book Security Analysis will hold the #1 position on Amazon.com's best-seller list for 18 seconds, longer even than Suze Orman's best-selling 21st Century opus, "The Courage To Get Rich By Saying The Same Things Over and Over Again In Every Book I Write." Ha! /Kit

Dell warns. (From CNBS) Will miss consensus by 5 cents. So if IDC/DQ claim record breaking unit shipments, what's that say about industry ASP's? <g> Also looks like Niles called it again.

To All, "Dell, Compaq, Intel, IBM, You dudes're gonna take some medicine." <g> Ah, it feels so good to not only be 100% right on these lying dogs, but for the market to look like it may act on the reality instead of the pie in the sky these goofs have been selling. For once. If unit sales as reported by the toadies, IDC and DQ, get any stronger, all of these boxmakers are gonna declare bankruptcy. Nuclear winter is here. Too bad so many suckers own the shares and are only discovering the truth very late. But good for our side.
