<<What is the origin of the Brock 20/60 party joke?>> Not a joke...It started when the company was Brock International on the previous thread. Roger Babb suggested that he had no plans to sell a share of this stock until it reached 20...From that, a bunch of folks decided that we would meet in Atlanta to celebrate the occasion(reaching 20 not Roger's selling). Hank is providing the German chocolate cake, Roger is BBQ ing a steer and Richard has even committed to roasting a pig. The stock reached the magic number in early 2000 but wasn't there long enough for anybody to enjoy the moment except Roger who managed to sell all his optioned shares. In any event, we decided to delay the meeting until the next time it reached 20...After the reverse split(1:3) it became the 20/60 party...as 20 "ain't" what it used to be... Atlanta has had plenty of time to prepare for us...
