If NOK sales are dropped here comes a link, if oil is rising here ocme a link if GDP forecasts are for dead or slow downs here comes a link, but my simple question form all these linkages is Sir, please tell me if GDP is going to go dogs, OPEC can shove the oil up there's, who is going to buy? Is US not the 38% consumenr of the global energy? No answers on that, a pin drop silence.. atleast with all my maverickism and non-sense I have a consistent story to sell..the shorts have nothing but all these contradictions to build theirs on.. You totally disregard that slow down wil have a material impact on oil production, you also overlook that 140 m target of NOK was set when price of NOK was expected to be 120$, now you also overlook that 700 m mobile market in 2001 would need more phones, in all this contradiction where everyone else spells disaster I stand like a lone beacon trying to rationalise and make few bucks, I don't scare you, I know you love me because even the 'hardest of the bears' visit me for one reason they like to listen to all this for their 401k's.. your 401 loves me, your trading positions may be just opposite that is something I don't care.. I know you LIKE TO KNOW WHAT IS happening to your retirement fund, now don't tell me that with all this interest in the market you are all cash..ggg written in a lighter mode.. I am out to 'grand central' and go for outback walk about..
