Pancho, thanks for the link. Interesting story. I had dinner with a couple of friends tonight. My one friend is an bond analyst for Travelers. He was telling me about Chainsaw Al Dunlap and Sunbeam. The girl he works with is responsible for analyzing Sunbeam paper and wasn't comfortable with Sunbeams #'s and was reluctant to recomend a purchase of a convertible bond he was peddling. However Chainsaw Al was doing the roadshow, came to Travelers here in the city with body guards and all. They gave him all the hoopla,people were asking for autographs, a real side show. Needless to say, mgt cajoled her into recomending buying the issue. A week later the s**t hit the fan and they lost $ 800K on the $ 20M issue. He lies very well, who knows maybe one day he'll be president. The people will love him.
