Re: "It seems many of the people that had posted on this thread just a month ago are gone. I miss their perspectives and humor." Three analysts were fighting about next quarter's estimate of Chimer Inc. (Nasdaq: CIMI, a phaser company). Based on a rumor that one of Chimer's fabs was scudded by Saddam, analyst Brett Hogs from Monkinichi Securities (a Yamaichi affiliate) planned to lower CIMI EPS to 20 cents. Based on another rumor indicating that Chimer's CEO planned to sell his phasers to fried chicken and other fast food industries, analyst Jay Daed from Morg and Stench planned to lower CIMI to 18 cents (Chimer's CEO has long been suspected to have an affinity towards fast food industry and rumor has it that he will be using his phasers to facilitate the food processing). However, knowing that Chimer's fundamentals are still intact and learning that nothing has changed, the third analyst, Robin May from Dicks, Lee, and Johnson planned to upgrade CIMI to 25 cents. So when the three analysts were in Japan last week, instead of participating in the Semicon Conference, to settle the score, they entered into a local samurai competition in Chiba perfecture. Surprisingly, all three won the first, second, and third prizes (guess who won the first). The two primary Chimer's customers (also Chimer's stock holders), Niko Inc. and Kano Co., heard about the competition and invited the three analysts to their headquarters. The CEOs asked Brett Hogs, the second runner up, how he won the competition. Hogs then proudly said: "See the fly on your wall . . . Chiaaaaait!!!" Incredibly, using his samurai sword, Hogs was able to slice the fly into two pieces. To their amazement, the CEOs then asked Jay Daed, the first runner up, how he managed to win the second prize. "See the fly on the ceiling . . . Yeeeeaaaait!" screamed Daed while slicing the fly into four pieces. In awe, both CEO's turned to Robin May and wondered how this first non-Japanese could win the first prize in the samurai competition. Calm and collected, May pointed to a fly, perching on one of the CEO's forehead (I think it was the CEO of Niko, ... or maybe Kano). In a micro-second and with a lightening speed, May moved his sword towards the fly. Scared to death, the CEO almost fell from his chair, yet he was allright. "But the fly is still there . . . on his forehead!" yelled both Brett and Jay. Still calm and collected, Robin said: "Well, allright, the fly is still alive, but he cannot have any children." PS. I personally think Robin's sword was made from 0.25 micron Chimer's phaser. God Bless Robin
