Tunica I, personally, have no problem with lack of earnings for the next 18 months. The company is on the track to recovery which would boost the value far higher than pv of less than $1. The only risk is that that would present a take-over opportunity at really low prices. Regards -Albert

(Short vacation, eh, Don Juan?) You do go through some rather torturted twists in that posting, Tunica. First you rave about how cheap CNC is relative to "the most conservative earnings estimates", then you go on a rant about how analysts are saying they don't have enough information to properly estimate earnings under the recovery plan. Here's a Yahoo post from a CNC long actually worth reading: messages.yahoo.com LONGS STOP IT JUST >S_T_O_P I_T< I said several weeks ago that we would move up, late February at the latest, but I was seriously hoping sooner. I was wrong, and as bad earnings are looming this Nov, it looks like my prediction of Feb at latest will prove to be more accurate than I had even intended. Now a note to all longs: STOP TELLING EVERYONE THAT THE STOCK IS MOVING UP! It is NOT moving up. It is WALLOWING IN THE MIRE OF IT'S OWN AGGREGATE FILTH! Yes, we are on the path to recovery, yes, shorts are holding it down, yes, less shares are available, yes, mutual funds are pushing market down, yes yes yes, but the fact remains that this stock has fallen to 8 flat. Flat on its face, there is only moderate accumulation. The price doesn't lie. this one is a trader until Feb. Maybe longer, I've been wrong before. Look at this for a long term. February may be good, next August maybe. BUT NOT THIS YEAR. STOP PRETENDING THAT THE STOCK IS ONLY FIVE NANOSECONDS FROM THE LARGEST SHORT SQUEEZE IN THE HISTORY OF WALL STREET! Jacobs doesn't need a bunch of Yahoo longs kissing his ash the rest of the year, he has the money and the means to get much more attractive attention to more fulfilling ends. This doesn't pertain to some longs, but ta_56 will probably require minor surgery to remove his lips. Yours truly, Gross.
