STEVEN, did you study Algebra at Stonybrook? $6 B is serious stuff and that would make AENG about 6% of the total. You clearly have no Wall Street education or you consider traditional valuation measures to be obsolete (RU a "New Era" Investor?). Get off the Shelby thing for a second woudja? Even if, and that is a massive if, Shelby analyzed this thing to death and felt comfortable with selling it to the Big 3, there are still the issues of no patents, no defensible proprietary position and no dough, not to mention a questionable (that's being nice) broker dealer involvement. Wake up you fool.

You write..don't take your comments on a personal basis, that we are here to learn and that you hadn't questioned my logic. Steven, you obviously have an attention deficiency problem since you seem to forget what you post from one message to the next. Oh, well! What is expected from a Mensa member like you, who I note is a freeloader here on SI. As for your offer to be my friend, I discussed it with some of my academic friends and they think it a good idea for you to participate in one of our future discussions. Our recent discussions on Bernoulli's law, the Ptolemaic system, and how the study of pteridology will influence the future of medicine were a little mundane. Our next discussion will be about family members who haven't evolved in the natural progression of the food chain and are still aquatic invertebrates like you. You would make an excellent model for our discussion. Can you join us? Again $6 Billion dollars scammed from naive investors. And you defend this course of action, so you see, you being an aquatic invertebrate would fit in nicely with our discussion. (:>)

Gerg (all 4 of you) and Steven: FYI, from the Zen of Shorting: While not common, the great short Chu Mei Ash was known to go long on occasion. This resulted in his opinion being sought on the merits of various long plays in the market. The following story is a well known example: One of the master's student came to him very excited one day to speak of a stock he had found he felt was worth the master's attention. "Master, I think you should come and listen to Tubbo and Mitco Veni speak of Edi Ot Lamp Oil Company. It seems to me to be a most wonderful investment." "Indeed, consort of farm animals, you seem most excited. Very well, I am always willing to investigate companies. Let us go." Said the Master. The two walked over to where Tubbo and Mitco Veni were speaking. Chu Mei Ash settled into a lotus position and listened intently, nodding occasionally. Other investors recognized the master short but no one disturbed him. At the end of the discusion on the stock, Chu Mei Ash arose and said to his companion. "This is indeed a most wonderful company, let us go now to the market." "I am happy the Master agrees with me. But should we not hurry to the market now? Other investors recognized you and heard you say it was a good investment, even now they are rushing to the market." "That is most interesting, embracer of the slow and stupid, I merely said it was a most wonderful company. And it is, I has seen few shorts that were its equal. Well perhaps the misunderstanding of the other investors will work out for the best for we will be able to short it at its peak." Said Chu Mei. "But Master, a short, how can that be? Did you not listen to Tubbo and Mitco?" "I did indeed, they are like the farmer who is feeding his chickens. The chickens in their ignorance think they are receiving endless bounty for nothing, to the very day he comes with his cleaver. Did you not look into the faces of the crowd? It was most wonderful to see. They all had the open, guileless, wide eyed, and trusting faces that can only be found on the truly stupid. Perhaps you failed to see this as that face can be found on you so often." "Indeed, terror of the barnyard," Chu Mei Ash continued, "You have found me a most wonderful short, I expect to profit greatly by it." "Well perhaps then the master will share some of his profits with me since I have found this stock for him to short?" His student said. Chu Mei Ash looked his student over carefully and said,"It would be appalling to see the horrors you committed in previous lives, for you bear a terrible burden of Karma. Indeed, for your Karma to have resulted in you bearing such stupidity the mind shudders simply to consider it. It is a great sadness now for you too. For I clearly see the consequences of kindness to you. By giving you money I only add to your burden in the end for it will take even more time for you to atone for your past sins. So I will reap the gold from this short of Edi Ot as compensation for the good Karma I have accrued and you will be able to take joy in the fact you have in a small way paid a portion of your debt for your past evils." exchange2000.com
