The words of Mr."Short Everything" Barron^s Abel Abelson "Vanity of vanities, saith the Preacher, vanity of vanities. All is vanity." NOT TO EXCLUDE ABELSONS *** ENVY :) While little companies like Osicom (FIBR) are subjected to the spattering pen of small time buffet hustlers, bigger fry to be served by day dreaming sons of King David wannabies. Quoting with cashed out and camouflaged bible references. Like this one:"We contend that what did him in was that he strayed from the investment straight and narrow in pursuit of some grand agenda that had less to do, as it were, with fortune than with fame." For the newbies in the on line investment world to detect the breeders and carriers of the economic pestilence it is not all difficult if one knows to spot the reptile with the forked tongue. Oh great Satan what would Mr.Abelson give to know all the equity names in the remaining Tigerfunds portfolios so he could deliver them to his cronies In the Street? Worm meal eh, Mr Beara? Well I would love to be a worm to participate in the upcoming "leave the party in disgust" festivities. When about 80% of 6,5 billion will be distributed to content stockholders. Tigerfunds were one of the best performing long term investment funds in the world and Mr.J.Robertson has performed in superior style. IMO Mr.J.Robertson called the day, because a) He wanted out while there are still buyers alive,willing and able to pay up a decent price for his holdings according to the ultimate investor maxim. b) AprŠs Moi, Le D‚luge. (Was waiting to deliver this one for years but never had the appropriate opportunity.) Regards, ED PS: What profit hath a man of all his labour which he taketh under the sun?
