Where's Craig? I don't know but trust me he's not with me. Btw I can now tear a pro forma statement apart and carrying goodwill loses forward is not a negative thing. Why do you think VRSN has gone from 40 to 55 in the last few weeks? >None of this cut any ice with the accounting rule makers. Though it was completing a $13.5 billion transaction, JDS was still left with three times as much goodwill on its balance sheet as the deal was worth. Every quarter, it was writing off roughly $2 billion.

I was wondering the same thing. And commodities going through the roof too, even though gold and silver are staying true to form and dropping through the cellar again. Maybe Craig is taking another 10-month sabbatical like he did in 1999 after being more than a regular here....

>> Where's craig? << vacationing. don't expect much advice for a few weeks even though it looks like you could use some. >> He was advising everyone to sell all stocks especially their tech holdings. Now that we have a decent rally going, he's made himself scarce. << heh, i don't think you're in any position to be talking so cocky, you have been awfully quiet the last few weeks as your stocks slid 50% let's talk about oil which you said was going to $20 oh! p.s. just in case you weren't paying attention...
