John, I hear you. The weird thing is, I thought the "bullish in August" statement was the most sense I've seen out of the guy in a while. Total overgeneralization and oversimplification coming up, but since they became a major vendor, the stock's had a tendency to make 2-year peak-to-peak/trough-to-trough moves August/Sept. (Oct. 8th not withstanding). If it's hanging near a low during this period, historically it hasn't been a bad bet. This time maybe the cycle gets cut in half. And then there are all sorts of reasons why it doesn't play out that way, etc. But when you mention the fall tout fests, I started to think of another somewhat cyclical event as well - the Robbie Stephens Conference. And I think that's the last week of July. Let's see...April, MAy, June, July, August...hey, how about that. Yet another possible reason for him to expect to be bullish come August. He's earned that type of cynicism many times over.
