ALL,

I originally intended to post the following on 'Thread Morons' but since the fellow might not actually qualify for full honors, I decided to post it here. One of the hypster threads might be appropriate but I do not have any of these bookmarked. THIS IS A POTENTIAL FBNA SHAREHOLDER!

On Sunday (July 5) I noticed a new Subject on SI called:
A VISIT TO A COMPANY IS WORTH A THOUSAND ANALYSIS'
exchange2000.com

My opinion of Analysts (ANALYSIS'???) is that they are worth zero and we know what a thousand zeros equals. Yes, the same as double zeros. (Ed. Note: Nice tie into this thread).

Here is the first post by the thread originator: exchange2000.com . Please read carefully and see if you agree with my synopsis that follows:

The company is in a downward spiral, once valued at $5 (18 months ago) it has reached lows of 0.13, with a dead cat bounce to its current price of 0.64. Some guy named Tomato drove to Ardsley NY to do a site visit. This company actually has an office. As the report implies that this is a rarity for BB stocks. Company employees are working hard to arrange the furniture and plug in the phones. There are complications like the phone company has not provided phone service and the moving truck has not provided furniture. There is no carpet and the walls have not been painted. People are moving fast, they are wearing jeans and T-shirts. The Christmas holidays are fast approaching. PR releases are hung by the chimney with care. The plaster should dry by then. Phones will most likely have desks to support them. Most importantly the VP of Sales is a BABE in jeans HUBBA HUBBA

I would of spent more time and actually asked questions but they were concentrating so hard in a room with no furniture, no phones, no carpet and no paint on the walls, on the fact that they were taking the next day off.

Well, I hungry, it is exciting to be in on a company that has a dirt floor. I'm so pumped I'm about to fall asleep


As you might guess I was not impressed. It reminded me of the Rocketeer visit to a company one late night on the weekend. Exactly when I would visit. Apparently our poster has a different opinion of the visit. Here are references with this exact same post:

Why does Monty Python's, SPAM, SPAM, SPAM and Elvis Costello's song "Less then Zero" come to mind? Oh well, good to see TLC and cOUSIN sHORTY back on SI.
