If you recall though it is the only times I have ever said it, so you know there has to be some common sense behind it.
At this speed ? My god !!!... My great, great, great great....etc... kids are the ones who will reach it.... if they ever do.
I better jump into a faster ship...
just a little Ralph Cramden sarcasm is all . . I know, I know . . . we're still at Kitty Hawk waiting for a light tailwind . . but ya gotta start somewhere!
btw, excellent post on the Goldman Sachs conflicts over in the other thread!
always brightens my day to see that GS is on the hotseat; Paulson spiked the punch so AIG didn't take down Goldman. Fact.
Abbey Cohen takes her marching orders from Lloyd Blankfine the same way Mark Wienkes did . . Wienkes should be making liscense plates or breaking big rocks into little ones that john can throw at irish next Q (jk)
Agree John,i know you know,and 3Q should be profitable or even at least with 4Q being GAAP positive and back almost to normal for subs,but also SAC and expenses will rise also as Tyler pointed out with ramp up in auto's coming back to normal.
Common sense indeed,but worried a little about last Q with low sac and still only -.01 EPS,should have been even,thought rev was down a little,but we'll see..
P.S.take that back,but for new bond we would have been .01 to.03 GAAP positive EPS,forgot that part,that was my call remember,can't anticapate new bond offering.was 196mil charge..

problem with that theory is that if you wait for the upgrade before you buy-in, you will have already missed the move, imo
analysts today are the modern-day equivalent of snake-oil salesmen or carnival barkers
they are sent out from higher-ups in the corner offices to influence the direction of a stock for their "Capital Markets" divisions rather than to set unbiased, objectively obtained, price targets based on actual metrics
go to ivy league school
get MBA
go to work concealing securities fraud
enjoy ride home in hummer
they'll learn . . it won't get ya far on Maslow's Hierarchy
Hey Roadkill, I live in Kitty Hawk, and it is a good place to catch a tailwind!
Just looking for a little C type SP,that's all then i'm gone,not all infatuated with the stock,just see a 10 or 15 bagger when i see one..
I don't have a degree in espionage or conspiracy as some here and other sites do,just try to bet with the house when in their favor is how to play it,IMHO...everything else is get a room comp at the casino strategy,they win eventually....
Hey, I have 3 of those. Went to an Ivy league, got an MBA and I have a Hummer... + I am a snake-oil salesman.
I prefer not to buy based on analysts expectactions, either before or after an upgrade...
This is the post of the year,LMFAO,,so you don't ever buy any stock then?
because before or after analysts report you don't buy,which leaves when?
You sound like BM now..
