The Revenge of Mao failed!!! ---------- Ibexx said: Thanks for sharing this great article. President Jiang is visionary enough to realize the power of information age--I have no doubt about that after listening to his speeches numerous times. --------- Oh heck!!! Forty or so years ago, the People's Chairman Mao was upset after losing Korea to those occidental rabid imperialists dogs, so he promised himself that as soon as The People got a hold of Hong Kong he'd unleash an attack onto the West via their most sacred held beliefs: The People would wreck havoc with the Imperialist World's Financial Markets and take over the West. Everything seemed to be going well.... The markets were crashing and the 'President' of the People's Republic was making a trip to the nest of those detested, inhuman dogs... Washington DC. Of course, the plan was that as soon as the West crashed, the 'President' would present himself as the 'Chairman' and 'offer' a saving path into The People's System, a system born from the suffering of many during The Long March. But no! Us in the Imperialist West forsaw This Event and ignored it, heck, everyone knew that Hong Kong was overvalued and that interest rates were dropping faster than Ascend's stock and Gore's chances of reelection, so we bought, bought and bought. We were making money, dudes, no time for some Chinese Torture. So, 'President' Jiang had to maintain his charade, and will have to buy lots of Cisco stuff instead of triumphally going back to his Red Palace. Hmmm.... Do you know if Jiang owns stock in 3Com???? But, seriously, what's the fuzz with the split? Is it just hot wind or expectations based upon the current price levels and past history. In any event, I thought tomorrow is just earnings reports, not a meeting of the Board... When is the next Board Meeting? Also, Intel is getting cheap again. Last time I got into it, it's PE ratio was in the teens, nine months later I sold for a 200% profit. I wouldn't have sold but the IRS had some designs on my money last April 15.... Tony ;-)
