Hi. I'm new to this area. I've been in and out of Cirrus over the last three years. Not making much money. Does anyone know when the Intel article broke and whether it could have an affect on Monday's trading? Is it old news already? How do I edit the To: area of this message? Didn't mean to interrupt the current dialog. Thanks, Wags

Phantom, I'm not trying to defend Richard Surckla as he is fully capable of doing that himself but stop and think about the Teo/Arnold relationship for a minute. We have Teo who has invested around $60 million in CRUS. No one will disagree that this gentleman has a plan/vision for this investment and I think we can all agree on the intelligence of Teo. On the other hand we have Arnold, a 24 year old who writes 42 page reports, advises CRUS on its mergers and acquisitions strategy (and even locates suitable takeover targets) and posts daily updates on the internet. Why would Teo call Arnold and provide "confidental" information and not expect to see it posted on Arnold's web-site. Writing is what Arnold does best. What does Teo gain out of this conversation? This defies any level of logic. My personal opinion is that Arnold has devised a brilliant plan to get noticed by Cirrus thereby improving his odds of gaining employment there. My hat if off to him due to his unique approach, but I can't place much value in his analysis skills, or his new found association with Alfred Teo. Regards Dave

Phantom, I was reading story in the newspaper this evening. To make it short it seems that a man camping out in Texas claims that he was abducted by aliens the other night. He was beamed up into a spaceship where he was told that the earth was not going to be hit by a large asteroid as had recently been reported by the media. They told him he would be returned to earth and that he should tell everyone not to worry. Now, Phantom, believe it or not there are many people that will believe that story, and then there will be many that will not. In any event I will not be offended at anyone who does not believe it. For those that would believe it I would say that *they are short a brick or two.* **************************************************************** To Richard Richard, I do not know why Teo or Arnold for that matter has to save face for you or any of us. I'M SORRY YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND THIS. SAVING FACE IS NOT FOR ME OR ANY OF US, AND ESPECIALLY NOT TEO. . .IT'S FOR ARNOLD SINCE HE IS THE ONE MAKING THE CLAIMS WHICH ONLY HE CAN SUBSTANTIATE. Teo as we all know has a very large stake and Arnold has been maintaining a site with useful information and had at least been active with Investor Realtions and Writing a letter to Mr. Shelton. I DON'T DENY ANY OF THIS. Next week he has already promised to post some answers to some qusetions he has prepared for IR to read. We'll see if he produces again. YES WE WILL. Mr. Teo as Arnold states specifically asked him not to post certain things and he just respected that request. WHAT CERTAIN THINGS WOULD THIS BE? WHAT COULD HE POSSIBLY HAVE TOLD ARNOLD THAT HE WOULDN'T WANT HIM TO SHARE WITH ANYONE? ANY INFORMATION THAT TEO DID NOT WANT ARNOLD TO SHARE WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN TOLD TO HIM. Arnold has done a fine job with his financial analysis THIS IS YOUR OPINION AND YOU'RE ENTITLED TO IT. and if he is reading this I encourage him to continue his work for the sake of all of us FOR THE SAKE OF ALL OF US? WHAT DOES THIS MEAN? As much as i hate to say it Richard, if I had to pick the person who has contributed more to enlightening alot of shareholders about Cirrus, it would have to be Arnold that got my vote, not you. I DIDN'T KNOW I WAS LOOKING FOR YOUR VOTE. THANKS FOR INFORMING ME. BUT IN CASE YOU HAVEN'T NOTICE THERE ARE MANY ON THIS THREAD THAT HAVE CONTRIBUTED A LOT OF INFORMATION. YOU'RE NEW HERE. YOU'VE ONLY BEEN AROUND SINCE LAST OCT. Teo obviously is not going to fall trap to your challenge IT'S NOT A TRAP OR A CHALLENGE. THESE ARE YOUR WORDS, NOT MINE...I mean after all, why should he have to answer to richard surckla? Who are you to him? NOBODY...JUST LIKE YOU, ARNOLD AND THE REST OF US. And if you have an agenda with Arnold, take it up WITH HIM! I HAVE NO PROBLEM WITH ARNOLD. I SAID HE APPEARED TO BE A BRIGHT GUY, I JUST DON'T BELIEVE HIM, JUST LIKE I DON'T BELIEVE THE GUY THAT WAS BEAMED UP. I'M ASSUMING THAT'S OK WITH YOU? You've always been itching to find out about Teo's intentions anyway (see post 5053) YOU DIDN'T GO BACK FAR ENOUGH. I HAD ALREADY STATED WHAT I THOUGHT TEO'S INTENTIONS WERE.** , so why don't you get off YOUR tail, and YOU call him and YOU report to the rest of us and YOU ask Al Teo if he talked to Arnold and then YOU can report everything to us....Something tells me Mr. Teo wouldn't give you the time of day....NAA! DON'T HAVE THE ENERGY OR THE TIME TO DO ALL THAT, ESPECIALLY SINCE I AGREE WITH YOU THAT TEO WOULDN'T GIVE ME THE TIME OF DAY. I'm personally satisfied with Arnold's work and will hold on to my shares of Cirrus till the sun shines again... I DON'T KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS . . ."HOLD ONTO MY SHARES TILL THE SUN SHINES AGAIN"?
