Oh, George... Now, George, let's not celebrate the bear-be-que quite yet. Or, more aptly, let's at least wait a week until some of the new interest in this thread gets distracted by some other oppt'y. (I mean, if I get about 30 more posts of this kind of smirky, "I've been places and done things with stocks that would boggle your mind-- you really should try it with lava-lamp oil, needle-nose pliers, and alka selzer: the sensation is amazing," stuff... well, I'm going to seriously look at taking a room at Rudy's now-quiet other-SEEK thread.) Let's see, some interloper accused the LONGsuits of being mere cheerleaders. Oh, yeah, that's me, alright. Just a major rah-rah-rah kind've of guy. Not a moment's reflection or considered pause from me. No sir-eee bob. Oh, no, it wasn't me that posted that somewhat disturbing--at least on the face of it--article from www.wired.com. No that was my stunt double. Well, the one solace I can take from the most recent turn of this thread is that this too shall pass. Like a kidney stone, per-haps. But, out it will go. And as unreflective LONG, I personally can't imagine any stops between here and say $157. By, say, tomorrow afternoon... at the latest. Further, I could never begin to contemplate a little YHOO style sell-off in advance of earnings, then a run for the roses the day of earnings, taking us to say $50. Then, a sell-off, the morning after. (Earnings will be better than good... but speculation is ALMOST always sweeter than confirmation.) No, that doesn't enter into my thinking at all. But, seriously, what I'm really interested in is whether SEEK will be quiet on the PR front this week. My bones tell me there's yet another major deal sitting in the pipeline... close to fruition... if not already closed. I mean, another buy-out... eyeball purchase. One might think they'd drop it the day before earnings... if earnings are as good (not necessarily outstanding) as I now feel. As for earlier speculation as to what effect a break-even quarter would have on SEEK. Well, somebody said that might already be factored into the price. Sorry, and with all due deference, but NOT A CHANCE. A breakeven quarter WOULD BLOW US THREW THE ROOF. Best Regards, George, Buena Suerte c m
