Mike,

Keep up those boring pieces - please.-g-

Here's an interesting article that I copped from the G. Gilder thread in SI. Any comments:

MB, just realized you slammed someone (ie a certain Victor Niederhoffer) who has the statement,"I've done a lot of losing in my life, but this was particularly tragic." That was cold; how in the world could you slam such a loser? I am hereby cancelling my subscription to the Ask MB thread.
(Oh, yeah, notice how the article had his quote, then 'the former squash champion said from his home in Weston, Connecticut' or something like that. Where in the world did they get the "squash champion" from? And champion of what, the Weston Rec Leagues?)

Good boring note (especially since I've got CIEN puts -g-).
Have you ever looked at CVC (Cablevision)? It has a balance sheet that will make you puke--$2.5 billion negative equity, it generates enormous losses every quarter (Sep 97 "profit" was an extraordinary item), and seems to be propped up by investment bankers and institutionalized investors.
