Justa what is your reaction to this late earnings warning by Compaq? I remember a show of Bob's right after it was announced that Compaq bought Digital and Bob was asked the question about what he thought of the purchase...Bob stated that he sold Compaq because he did not want to own Digital. Compaq new guard/Digital old guard...I wonder if the problem with Compaq is Compaq? Long some big name techs and maybe I'm reaching.

Justa:<<Good laugh. I have been surfing the net threads to to try and understand how the mob investor thinks. The split rationale one of my favorites. >. Justa, if you really want to get to "know" the psyche of the internet investor mob you really should surf the threads at Raging Bull. This is not meant to be a plug for RB because after you have been there for awhile you will give thanks that you are a registered member of SI! Best regards, Jeff ragingbull.com

Justa, >>> TMAC: Good laugh. I have been surfing the net threads to to try and understand how the mob investor thinks. The split rationale one of my favorites. BTW, it was the Globe.com that went up 40% or so on the split announcement. This baby came public at $90 and cratered until it got the split juicer. Bob commented on this baby earlier in the year. Hope he addresses this split nonsense this weekend. Anybody who runs across a clueless internet post, bring it over here. We should try to understand how these folks operate because they are not going away. The increase in on-line investing and trading will make these folks a permanent part of the investment landscape. Sure, some will be taken out and shot only to be replaced with others who come on-line. >>> I am starting to prepare for my annual journey to the cradle of capitalism. The Berkshire Hathaway Annual Meeting in Omaha,NE the first weekend in May with the meeting on that following Monday. I can't wait to hear Warren's take on the internuts and the market in general. Last year he told his famous internut joke and since then (YHOO et al) have soared 800% - 1000%+ I believe. At that time they were up 200% - 300%.
