Lugan,
I figured it was better than the constant back and forth that has been going on.....Please don't wip me masta....Some people have some real issues around here.
Good work Jonas.
By the way you weren't trying to imply that Brown and Vasquez were better than Rocket, Pettit, and Boomer........Because you lost with them last year and they were far superior to what you brought in thus far.
I can't wait either......but seriously Mussina gets lit up by the Sox every year, Brown will be on the DL by May, and Vasquez has never pitched in front of more than 100 people at a time.........Mariano reminds me of Rip Van-winkle (SP).....Doesn't that guy ever get old???
RICH,
I agree with some of your thoughts, however, there comes a time where a company must stop the talking and start the showing.....an old addage sais, "S--T or get off the pot"..... Now this time is different for every investor much the same as investment horizons are different for many of us......It just seems that some longs patience is wearing thin and want action Etc......This does not make them bad people or the enemy......One must make a decision on his own and stick by it, and not be swayed one way or another....All JMHO of course.
PEDRO MARTINEZ, CURT SCHILLING, DERICK LOWE..........AND KEITH FOLKE TO CLOSE THE DEAL.....LAST TIME I CHECKED PITCHING BEAT HITTING, KIND OF LIKE DEFENSE BEATS OFFENSE IN FOOTBALL.....THIS IS SOMETHING I THOUGH YANKEES FANS WOULD HAVE LEARNED FROM THE MARLINS LAST YEAR.......LOL
SHOVEL......Last few years (Business Wise) has added about 20 to my age......LOL.......So in reality I am a young 50 something......LOL
Looks more and more like a Monday announcement may be a possibility as you watch the volume increase along with certain MM's moving up onto the bid.....JMHO of course.

Thanks Tin, at least this way you take away ammunition from those that are always looking for it.
TIN,
One thing I read over at RB does make sense.....Can you install a link to the SEC investigation on the opening page. I for one have read it half a dozen times, but for new investors one should be given a Total picture of the company, it's accomplishments and it's problems. This way no one in the future could question motives, hidden agendas or anything else about you, your helpers or the people who post here in general......All JMHO
You guys gotta check out RB.....LOL....Someone lost a screw.....I'll let you guys figure out who.
Welcome.......It's a long story.....LOL......MBR will help you with that one.....LOL......Spend the time and go through all the links that Tin has set up at the top of the page......An informed investor is a happy one (usually anyway).
Does this sound like anyone you know?.........Could swear I've heard that somewhere.

China's laptop landscape to change
Author: ZI MU,China Business Weekly staff
The competitive landscape in China's notebook PC market is likely to be significantly altered this year, as major global manufacturers begin to take on domestic players, industry professionals suggest.
Leading international notebook PC makers, which used to focus on pricy, high-end gadgets, are aggressively penetrating China's mid-range segment, a territory traditionally controlled by domestic players.
"I expect there will be fewer notebook brands this year," said Zhang Jian, sales director of Samsung Electronics' notebook PC division.
"Most small (domestic) market players will see meagre business growth in 2004."
The low-price advantages domestic makers used to enjoy are waning as foreign giants have fine-tuned their price strategies, Zhang said.
Prices of notebook PCs in China have been declining in recent years.
The price gap between domestic brands and foreign brands is not as significant as before, observers said.
That should be a shot in the arms of foreign makers: Chinese people usually prefer foreign notebook brands, but could not afford them in the past.
"In 2004, the strong will be stronger, and the weak will be weaker in China's laptop market," Zhang said.
"Many small domestic notebook makers are very likely to be washed out of the market."
Chinese IT product manufacturers used to enjoy unique advantages in localization and pricing, said Qu Xiaodong, an analyst with Beijing-based data tracking firm CCW Research.
However, "such advantages are gone (due to significant price dropping," he said.
"In contrast, Chinese firms' weakness, due to a lack of core technologies, is becoming magnified."
This year will be a turning point for manufacturers, as foreign makers are ready to regain the ground they lost to domestic players, the analyst said.
Chinese laptop makers used to focus on notebook PCs that cost less than 120,000 yuan (US$14,458).
Foreign brands control the market for notebooks that cost more than 120,000 yuan, but have aggressively expanded their product portfolios and slashed prices.
Both IBM and Samsung have specific notebook models aimed at different consumers.
Some foreign firms have cut prices - as low as 100,000 yuan (US$12,048) - of some of their notebook models.
Domestic laptop makers have not made headway into China's high-end market, due to their lack of core technologies.
Foreign vendors have been racking up notebook PC sales.
Samsung said it sold 900,000 units of notebook PCs in China last year, an 80-per-cent increase year-on-year.
IBM's notebook PC sales increased 75 per cent, year-on-year, in the first three quarters of last year.
CCW Research estimated 1.357 million units of notebook PCs were sold in China last year, a 45.8-per-cent increase year-on-year.
In 2002, the growth figure was 48.8 per cent.
Statistics from research firm IDC indicate notebook PC shipments in China in the third quarter of last year totalled 502,835 units, up 94.93 per cent year-on-year.
The market researcher has yet to disclose statistics for the fourth quarter, and for the full year.
Among the foreign vendors, IBM, Samsung and Toshiba are most likely to significantly eat into domestic makers' shares of the market, as they are becoming increasingly aggressive in the mid-range market, observers said.
IBM has begun penetrating into China's small and medium-sized cities, in addition to continuing to consolidate its leading position in the large cities.
IBM is already capable of taking away the notebook crown held by Legend Group, observers said.
Samsung has reshuffled its sales channels, and has vowed to become one of the top 5 vendors this year.
"We aim to sell 150,000 units of notebook PCs in 2004," Zhang said.
Core staff members of Beijing Capital, Samsung's nationwide sales agent in China, have been merged into Samsung.
Very nice Thinkerman......I like it.
