Do take advantage of the rumors floating about that INTC may not meet earnings estimates, my dear. Well... Not often I become a contrarian, (although some mistaken opinions exists that may not agree with such claim), particularly against the Gorilla type stocks that could feasible squash me with ease and gusto, in less than a flash... So far, the first half has been profitable, but as we have recently witnessed, the second half has been not so. However, it has been quite entertaining, filled with suspense and terror, a la Stephen King, courtesy of the talking heads form TV land and their associates the analyst from Transylvania... To date, I am slightly under water, but in typical Mr. King's fashion, it seems that a last minute move by the dark side, the force may be with me and lady victory, after all, will join me at the winner's circle. Too early and close to call. Time is of the essence, as you know, options are dying assets, and we are about to enter the comatose period, when spastic movements could be the order of the day... we soon shall see. As they say in the world of soccer, "the last minute also has sixty seconds" As for what should you call me... You can call me whatever you want, if you don't like Juan, well.... How about Don Juan... <g> I used to be the former Zebra in a past life.... as in X Y Zebra, the evil one... hated with passion by the FTELIANS, whom I baptized "The Circus of the Absurd", they fancied themselves and loved to call their rambo-like leaders as "the dirty dozen", however the market seemed to have "decimated" the lot... <g> In their desperate attempts at hype, I believe that the real gods of SI kicked the more psychotic ones out... I hear that now their watering hole of choice is some website called the raging bull.... complete with an "ignore" button, with the purpose to ignore any dissenter. I say they dispense the justice of bull s... <G> Funny thing is that the company FTEL actually has great potential, but their wide-eyed, cult-like followers are indeed a scary lot. Our "love" affair ended when I dared called their sacred heroes, a renegade band of "old farts". Since then, I have been excommunicated by the church of the absurd. In fairness, I should disclose that I have owned and presently I do own a bit of FTEL and overall the stock has been good to me, but not without its headaches, and or frustrations, lately the market has agreed with some good news of late, an as far as I can tell they seem to be doing well... as usual, 'time will tell'. As for the FTELIANS... I think there will be some tribe members that in typical absurd fashion... there may be some that will suffer a heart attack once success finally comes their way.... hehehehehehe.... Now, you can also call me "El Supremo" as in Café Colombiano, since for now, I have taken the role of El Patrón de los Cafetaleros.... But hey, if you like Doroteo, be my guest, just make sure you are addressing the right poster....hehehehe Otherwise you are liable to be flamed without mercy... <g> Take care...
