Big Up Day for SNDK so far Up more than 8 points and just getting stronger. LEXR just sits there on weak volume. Watch out for a pullback in flash stocks in the next few days but it looks like longet term we finally may be heading back up out of this nightmare. As far as LEXR goes, it seems as though Lexar Management is much more adept at putting together a shark-pit-bull lawyer team than actually effectively promoting their company and wooing Wall Street. LEXR is completely under the Street's radar. SNDK is going gangbusters right now.

Steve 667, some things are not what they seem. I spent a year of my college education with Dr. Aura Lee Ageton (sp?) (by now, aged 80+). Famous for flunking half of her class, that overweight and diminuitive lady had doctorates in both Economics and History, plus three diverse Masters degrees. In the first semester of her "Macro Economics" class, we had to buy -- among other titles -- Paul Samuleson's tesbook (supply & demand theory), "How to Read a Book" (Mortimer Adler, 400+ pages) and "How to Lie With Statistics" (I recommend all of these books to all.) If I learned anything of value from this scholar, I learned that people (including the best of the best) know far less than they think and are easily convinced of lies. If "Dr. A" was right, people who use big words seek to confuse; those who claim to know all that must be known ... seek to control; those who demand to be heard, are not worth the ear-full; and those who seek the truth, will (eventually) find the truth. Craig PS If it matters now, I got an "A" in both semesters. They were the toughest classes I ever took. But .. to hear her speak each day -- with references with the great scholars who past before her -- was a gift meant to be shared.

Steve 667, take this in your pipe and smoke it ... latimes.com "WASHINGTON--The Florida Supreme Court today handed Vice President Al Gore his biggest legal victory since the Nov. 7 election, overshadowing a setback he suffered in a ruling by two Florida circuit court judges only two hours earlier. A divided high court, in a narrow 4-3 vote, ordered hand recounts across Florida that Gore's lawyers had sought in the hotly contested presidential election. In so doing, the court majority reversed a ruling earlier this week by Circuit Judge N. Sanders Saul. In announcing the ruling, court clerk Craig Waters said Sauls' court "shall immediately begin a manual recount of the approximately 9,000 Miami-Dade ballots that registered undervotes," meaning ballots where machine counts indicated that no votes for president were recorded but where voters selected candidates for lesser offices. "In addition," said Waters, "the Circuit Court [Sauls] shall enter orders ensuring the inclusion of the additional 215 legal votes for Vice President Gore in Palm Beach County and the 168 additional legal votes from Miami-Dade County." Waters added that "the Circuit Court shall order a manual recount of all undervotes in any Florida county where such a recount has not yet occurred." The high court said the recount "shall commence immediately" because of the shortness of time. Florida officials have said they must certify their 25 electors by next Tuesday for a vote by the electoral college on Dec. 18" If you don't like the news, have your friends sue again in the U.S. Supreme Court ... who ... after much deliberation .. decided that they only had the power to recommend that the FSC take a second look. Well ... the FSC took a second look and decided that a recount was is order. Been there. Done that. Said so since day one. IMHO, Gore will win in the end. Craig And no, I still don't care who wins. I only care that the law is the law and that we all get a fair shake. To those who read "the National Review" ... tough! And, to those who think that the Republican legistlature in Florida has the right to act, well .. they are have the right but they -- like the Florda Secretary of State, are moving too fast. When the count is over, then and only then can anyone decide what is fair. If Bush wins, "he will be my President". Yours too.
