Hi carl, I have a morning practice of going through a bunch of news sources after arrival at the office at 7:30am, ice tea at the ready. My workday life is pretty leisurely while I am not on the road and so I figure I might as well post what catches my attention to give the illusion that I am making up my more verbose postings based on some evidence, as opposed to I am a perma-bear (I am not). The bullish posts catch my attention because I want to read their reasoning and am ready to be convinced at any time. I want to be convinced. My cash is ready to go to work. I am not typically afraid of risk. I in fact embrace smart risk. I look on the horizon, from Europe to US to Japan to my immediate neighborhood, and then to South Africa, Turkey and Argentina, from bonds to real estate to equity, from high-tech to Old Ec sectors, from Philip Morris, to American Water, to Enron. I am looking frantically, day and night, and I see no compelling value yet. On the news service and women ... womeninmedia.com ... this site (soft launch next Friday, hopefully) was registered by me on behalf of a bunch of ladies that enable me to be quite popular with the boys, especially right before the Chrismas party season and summer boating/hiking season, all looking for an invite to the girls' functions. The girls' hiking shorts this season start at a few inches below the belly button, in a Lara Croft motif. Alas, as noted once before, the biggest conversation killer at these outings is "oh, and meet my wife". Message 14985220 I just attended a premier of Final Fantasy movie by Sony Columbia Tristar, and the ladies were out in force, mind searing experience where my eyeballs were on gyro-free state, able to roll independently of each other and of the skull case. I learnt of this industry late:0) But, more seriously, these intelligent, educated ladies can sense a BS-er from a mile away and thus the best approach for the lone single guy is the upfront approach: state your business, and your terms, and hope for the best; and never try to date two of them at the same time (one moronic friend of mine tried). For the pals of mine who failed at these gatherings, I invite them to my business partner's wife's gathering. She is an airline person, and still maintains her friendships in her previous hotel management trade. Less discriminating but no less fun crowd. Chugs, Jay
