I am always happy to respond to excellent questions with DD! Members: Go straight to the bottom and read the Note. So, I am very excited to see a short with some kind of DD! Way to go bud! Although, I know very well what is happening here. You 2 are working together because just one of you can't hanlde the Fatt boy alone! So, ready for some beef? Ok, children, gather around, Fatt Matt is going to tell the story of a little company called Microsoft. A long time ago, back deep in a garage, there was this nerd named William Gates. People laughed at him and said he would never succeed. The "little" guy got frustrated and worked harder. Old Slick Billy then ran across a little program called DOS. He did not develop it or write it, but took credit for it. He actually bought the program. He did a little tweaking and name change and marketed it. Later on, Billy gained a little $$$ from his quick, intelligent move. He then begin developing more when he found out it was a hit and he WOULD SUCCEED. Then, Billy released a few versions of the newly redesigned DOS called, Windows. Then Billy ran into some problems. Uh oh! Because he was working sooo soo hard on the program to make it the best available and did not want it to "not be able to handle market conditions," he held off releasing it. This program is better known as Windows 95. A few people use it nowadays. But did the delays hurt his stock in the LONG-TERM? Nah, I think not..Just looking at the charts...Doesn't look like it hurt it too bad. Soon, with the "perfect" release of the software, ole Billy grew the company into a decent-sized, you could say. Eh? Gee wilakers! What a great story! Almost scary how close they are! Eh? So, play with it short term, but be careful long-term. Now kids, go eat your beef that you asked for. Fatt Boy has plenty to go around. I hope you guys stay around for a while! I am having too much fun here. I have never laughed so much talking about stocks that I don't even own! <big grin> Dinner time boys! Beef, its what's for dinner. FM Good luck working together. This thread is on a totally different plataeu boys. Note to members: When I respond to these guys, it is not because they get to me, it is because its so fun, I would rather be on here than watching Saturday Night Live. So, totally disregard my responses to them and their posts to any of you. They really should take this PM, if they want to bash it. Funny, that they are calling me "little man" and attacking me, when I don't even own the stock! LOL They are just trying to trash this thread just like they did Daniel Millers. The only problem they are running into, is that I have the facts and the support to back up what I say!
