John, with the RS conf. coming up, here's a Modest Proposal for Dan Niles fans. I would assume he'll wear the kneepads for MU. He's been doing it for a while now. His kneepads are probably worn out. I hereby propose... KNEEPADS FOR NILES ACROSS AMERICA That's right. Small investors reaching into their own wallets in a marvelous show of bonhomie towards a valued member of the sell-side community, literally showing their deep respect and admiration for the man and all he represents by providing him with the most needed tools of the trade. The kneepads start here on the East Coast, right here in Philadelphia, where a certain John Hancock showed similar admiration and respect for King George III. Through the magic of next-day air they traverse the country via Fed Ex, with each person simply signing his name or SI handle and then shipping them off. Think about it, for the cost of one commission, you can help keep a sell-side analyst in kneepads for a year! You will receive periodic reports on the analysts' progress via his unquestioned pronouncements taken as gospel truth via CNBC, Dow Jones, and Bloomberg. Think of the joy you will bring to a young sell-side analyst's face. Think of the anticipation. Think of the fun we'll have tracking the progress of "Kneepads for Niles Across America" across America. I'll sign up for some free web-space somewhere periodically updating their progress on a map of America superimposed with his happy smilin' face. This could work! LET's DO IT!!!!!!!! Good trading, Tom P.S. The above is not intended to imply that during the course of his employement as an analyst Dan Niles has ever engaged in the activity commonly referred to in street slang as "women's volleyball". ANY such literal construal totally misses the point of this satirical barb. P.P.S. Actually, on second thought, it's probably too late...but there's always next year...maybe <g>
