<<Where's the fish? How long do they have to be dead before Ed's cat will eat them and render another opinion on ANCR?>> Greg, Excellent point. I am working on the fish-cat-Ancor connection right now and have made some startling discoveries. My first breakthrough was the realization that "Ancor shareholders" is really a code word for "Sailors" (i.e. Ancor's Away!) With this in mind, check out the following from this catcentric web site... alt.xmission.com <<Cats can forecast the weather: they predict the wind by clawing at carpets and curtains; rain is highly likely when a cat busily washes its ears.>> (my interpretation: cats can correctly predict price movements in equity markets) <<Sailors used cats to predict the voyages they were about to embark on. Loudly mewing cats meant that it would be a difficult voyage. A playful cat meant that it would be a voyage with good and gusty winds.>> (my interpretation: the SI Ancor board has a playful cat on its hands) <<Sailors believed that the worst possible cat-related act, guaranteed to raise a storm and bring bad luck of all sorts, was to throw the cat overboard.>> (my interpretation: smart Ancor shareholders cannot be shaken out of their stock regardless of market conditions) <<In France, it is believed that if you find one white hair on a black cat, Lady Luck will smile upon you.>> (my interpretation: Group Bull will become a significant OEM) <<If a cat ran ahead of a sailor to the pier, it was believed that would bring good luck; if the cat crossed his path, it would bring bad luck.>> (my interpretation: Since ANCR "ran ahead" of the 50 DMA, it has been up, up and away!) <<In Transylvania, if a cat jumps over a corpse, the corpse will become a vampire.>> (my interpretation: well, let's just hope we've put the Ancorpse talk behind us...) <<A cat has 9 lives. For 3 he plays, for 3 he strays, and for the last 3 he stays. (an American and English proverb)>> (my interpretation: ANCR explodes from $4 to $41 in '96...plays, ANCR falls back from $41 to $4... strays, ANCR rises once again from $4 to $41 on strong fundamentals...stays) (add the digits of $41 and $4 together and you get "9"... coincidence?????)
