Say, brig, how do you and ex mrs. brigs all get along?

Buzz

I do too. Don't want yours. Mine is a lot cheaper.

Stopped outta haup on the 5.90 break. Will probably turn up to like 7.00 now, but wanted a tight stop this close to earnings since they don't usually give a date ahead of the release. THe CEO was his usual downbeat self in the last report, all doom and gloom for the quarter ahead as he always is. But I think they got a lot of their microsoft fee early this year due to Vista, if I'm making sense of his convoluded crap in the last report. However, weakness in the dollar may help the European side. Regardless, I'm out with a small loss on it.

That reminds me of a great joke my son told me when he was 7. You know what you are if you got to the bathroom in France? European. If you really have to go bad? Russian. When you're all done? Finnish.

If you do fill, do me a huge favor and let me know when you want to sell cause I'll buy em from you, like I shoulda bot your TSYS. ;)

Buzz

You'll have to get through my 10K at 2.05. GLTY.

Aire, theoretical question ..............

In a bull market, the cycle lows/price projections seem to work very well.

In a cyclical bear, would they work equally as well identifying shortable tops after rebounds, or just cycle lows within a down trend.

TIA

MGRM showing a stong close. eom

I'm also accumulating PRVT. Nice contrarian "sin" stock with exceptional growth as the largest porn distributor/producer in Europe. Can't see why it dropped after a very strong report last quarter, and CFO said to expect dramatic growth from last year's investments in IPTV, VOD, and Internet. Insider's own 73% of the co., and institutions have about half the float, so it's a volatile little stock and can move quickly.

Buzz

So far, happy with my MGRM buy this am, except wish I had taken a full position instead of half.

Buzz

They reported May 11 last year. They're on a calendar fiscal so should report by May 15. Since Apple started shipping their STB's, it will be interesting to see revenue from that. Not sure if it's a when sold, or up front from apple deal.

KNOT chart looks interesting. Hope you're well.

Buzz

You still in HAUP Zeev? I've been nibbling the past few days.

Buzz

Interesting little headfake on HAUP, the fake dip under 6.00. Bet they took a few stops out, kinda like KONG on the dip under 6.60.

Buzz

But I didn't say it. I was just asking a question if it would be a bad thing to say. I would never say ANYTHING like that to YOU!

Buzz

Woe is me? .................

I saw my x-wife at a kid's school thing last night and asked her, "wow, the kid's didn't tell me you were pregnant. What's the due date?"

That is a WOE IS ME. Even my GF got mad at me.

Buzz

What if I were to say, "you look stuffed up and bloated"? WOuld that be bad?

Buzz

Never mess w/ a woman who has the flu. eom

Brig's new nightclub act ................

Maybe I'll buy some CHBD. eom

Telling you, TK, get some pRVT on the dip today. I already added so fully loaded now. This will explode up soon. Sin stox typically do VERY well as a contrarian. Alliance Gaming kept me afloat from 2001 to 2002.

Buzz

ROTFLMAO

Bummer, they won't let me link the DVD cover.

Buzz

Just for the shock factor? She seems to like the attention.

Buzz

Here's my new signature, TK, just for you:

GOT PRVT???

Let's see ....................

WHat did she do?

IFON, we are getting a run into earnings. eom

In a Form 4 filed with the SEC Thursday, L. Michelle Wilson, who serves as the company's general counsel, reported she exercised the options Tuesday for $7.93 apiece and then sold 118,300 shares on the same day for $61.16 apiece.

The stock sale was conducted under a prearranged 10b5-1 trading plan which allows a company insider to set up a program in advance for such transactions and proceed with them even if he or she comes into possession of material non-public information.

I visited my local "adult book store" just to look at their titles here. Very large "Private" section. Asked the guy how they did. Said they were their number 2 mover to Vivid.

It's the IPTV growth in Europe however that will fuel future growth.
