Wonder how many of the "Houses"... ...shorted the semis, OF COURSE, 'on behalf of their clients' accounts,' on Friday or Monday? <g> They (Solly's competitors, with whom info is shared 'under the table,' -- that kind of thing that is so common in highly competitive industries --) would have been anticipating Solly's 'announcement' and especially the TIMING of it to take place TODAY. I have to hand it to the Houses on one thing: they have the 'public relations thing' down <g> to the most basic -- and therefore, brilliant -- 'science.' My hat is off to them in "admiration" of their "acumen," being a little bitty professional PR person myself. And I suppose I would add, for those who can stomach the reference: "F--- you, Houses." PS to Voltaire and "SI Bob:" The blanks following the "eff" in the above stand for "o," followed by "r," and ends with "k." You know, fork ... a common household utensil. hahahahahahhahahahahahahahahaha b-i-a ###
