Seth, do you have access to transcripts of conference calls? Is there a company which provides these? If so, are they only available to people like you who are in the securities business?

It seems to me that time after time I see heated discussions on SI boards about what was or wasn't said in conference calls. A good transcript would resolve most of these issues. This is especially true for companies where one or more of the principals has a thick accent and the audio is poor. You'd think that these guys would at least learn how to speak into a microphone without bumping it or getting too far away. They do this four times a year. Practice ought to make perfect.

I increased my position by 50% today. Got it at 21 7/8. Sometimes I get it right. (Sold my Dell today at what turned out to be almost the low for the morning. Then decided I'd screwed up and it wasn't going to go into free fall and bought back twice as much at 2 points higher. Now I see it crossing the screen a point lower than my original sale.)

Sure miss Dan Spillane's regular comments. I felt more secure with his regular technical explanations and analysis. He's apparently mostly focused on Monsanto now and probably driving that new E320 to job interviews.

Keeping the faith...
Bob
