I'm not saying there will be a buyout at a premium to these prices but why do you folks think they put together that anti takeover protection, because they might be concerned someone will take a run at them?? Ya, Ya, I know its standard stuff with everyone's company to set up the anti takeover

Spit out his water. I've got one better. During last month's conference call, one of the analysts asked Kevin for guidance relative to an OEM agreement with Compaq. Kevin cleared his throat. People, are you grasping this? HE CLEARED HIS THROAT. Not just a little type of of "uh em". But an honest to goodness mini hack, after which he provided a very innocuous comment. You could literally hear the number 2 pencil leads snap as the analysts scribbled on their pads. I personally broke a felt tip. I never used so many exclamation points in my life. Cleared throat !!!!! Anyway, they say markets can't be predicted, and of course the management always prefaces the conference calls with the standard "foward looking statement" exculpatory language. But, the true insiders know that CEOs send non verbal messages all the time, and the mechanics of swallowing and/or speaking is the biggest tip-off of all. Hogs, I urge to concentrate on flatulence. There's probably a hidden message there, but no one is game enough to put their nose to it. You're the man for the job Hogs. Lead us into the new century with invaluable investor insight. Damn the charts, the P/E ratio, the margins. Tell us what bodily function holds the key to the market.
