To: SI Bob who wrote (136 ) 10/14/2009 1:42:08 PM From: d:oug Respond to of 139 RE: "paying a little more attention" Greeting Bob, Once upon a time, well-nigh 1998, within SI's initial Big Bangness I arrived thinking that changes in any and all share prices for companies were caused by and reflected logically from the radiation emitting from within the company as their elements were excited thru interactions of their product line with their bottom line. Now ten years later I find my travels here afresh with what seems like SI's third Big Bangness propelled from a single point of origin called Bob The Expansionist. "Heck, I'm [by Bob Zumbrunnen who ] the guy who owned it 2 years after InfoSpace laid me off from it. And sold it 3 years later for a large multiple of its purchase price. Then bought it again at a discount 2 1/2 years later." Rather than query into the how this came to be, I would rather suggest the late greatness of Zeev's saying be reworded as such: "The trend is Bob's friend." That in regards to SI's third travels will result in a permanent greatness where TZ Holdings will purchase on the cheap IH from ADVFN if SI here can duplicate IH's "having arguably the most bang for the buck available in realtime products integrated [as] ala carte items..." under the changing market environment where penny stocks lose favor for investors as it becomes clearer that manipulation of these far exceeds sanity and logic, thereby placing a new focus on the companies akin to SI where the company is the main player to determine share price. This scenario unfolds as a migration of IH users to SI as they switch from the musical-chairs and who-will-blink-first environment to dictate buy/sell to those companies here on SI where Zeev's "When the TA and the FA don't jibe, believe the TA" hold court. All this makes me wonder where SI would now be if Zeev didn't leave for IH, taking his Turnips. Its possible that the PPT's 10,000 DOW bubble will pop soon after, allowing the scalping of the sheep, and thereby showing that Wall Street has been raimentless all along. doug
