HEY SLUGGO....I am having a great night..agreeing with Alley and now I fully agree with you....I might just turn him over to Loop or Bulldzr...they handle my light work!!! best...RTd
Alley...am so glad you are back...your thoughts mirror mine and i feel so much better when i find someone whose thinking agrees with mine...you are one of the best technical posters i have seen...those who are selling or who are failing to replace lost shares are going to regret it [imho]...we are having lunch at Bonnies tomorrow..sure wish you could be there..some great longs are going to show up for fellowship and great food[yes,Art...great food}...i believe that you would add so much to the knowledge and the fellowship if you were here...if the fundamentals change then all bets are off but otherwise i believe that in two or three more weeks we will break the 21+ and be off and running....like or dislike management,I believe we have the transmission and what ever else we need and that ole car is going around the track in first place....once again,glad you are back...Best....RTD
thanks for music:have tried to call you but phone has been busy and evidentally my e-mail is not gettig through. anyway lunch at Bonnies on wednesday at 11:30...i think you know the directions but their phone number is713-641-2397 if you need more directions call me.anyway let me know if you can make it so i can get the reservations.have a great day...RTD[Rookie Dickenson}
Bulldzr:..you were right..i am getting too old to even read a calander...see you Wednesday.....best...Rookie
Bulldzr:Not this wednesday...its the 9th of April....Wed. week...have a great evening....best...Rookie
Spree...I haven't talked to Loop about that and wouldn't post the answer if i knew it but i know that the big guys are certainly not always officers or BD of a public company....but whoever they might be,my thinking is that Loop was saying some things that they didn't want said at this time and told him so.you need to remember that he is one of the most astute posters on this board and a lot of people follow his thinking...you need to come to Houston one of these days and meet the "Bonnies" gang...you would be surprised and I think impressed also....I honestly think you will meet some great folks at the "Houston"100....and not just the folks from Houston....best again....RTD
Spree...Its fact and i have had them tell me that.you need to remember that both Loop and I have been in this stock for a long time and i am pretty sure that neither of us would lie when we post.i have talked to a number of idcc people and i am sure that loop has also....a number of long time stock holders do not hesitate to call and ask questions and also a lot of this and the old R.B. board go to the ASH meetings and have talked at length with a lot of the idcc officers and employees...Remember what i have told you about your elders and also take my word for it...Loop is one of the finest people you will ever meet...as you can tell he is very well respected by 99% of the board members here even though they have never met him....those of us who have met him think he is one of the best and would really want him to protect our back..you can count on him as a true friend....you don't meet too many of those...take an ole mans word for that...spree have a great weekend and remember about those elders....best...RTd
Longidcc...those who don't believe that the folks at idcc don't read the posts on Jim Lurs boards need to do some rethinking....i can assure you that the boards are very well read by the idcc folks...as a matter of fact,that is one of the first things done by some of them when they get to the office....they know by alias most of the constant posters and they know who is right when they post and who is full of bs..have a great evening....RTD
TO Bulldzr,Loop,Rockitt,Tucker,Peter and any other idcc longs...how does Wednesday,April 9th,11:30 am sound for lunch at Bonnies?? ..call me at 713 941 1636 or e-mail at user564136@cs.com...in the mean time ,all have a great evening and give prayers for our men and women in our services....best....RTD
LOOP:I agree with you 100%...i was pleased with my conversation with Janet but as you say there was a lot i wasn't told.of course a lot of the lack of information was my fault for not asking the correct questions.yes,it is about time for a "Bonnies" get together ...if only for the fellowship and the good food...Janet did tell me that they needed to make a visit to Houston to see some investment houses and that she would spring for the lunches....guess that leaves rockitt a little short for the week she comes down...as someone said earlier today...are we having fun yet? i know Tucker is ready so will try to set it up for sometime in the next couple weeks...have a great one...best...rtd
Loop...Did you follow up on my call from last evening?best...rtd
ELI_R...I was told years ago by my great grandfather to never look a gift horse in the mouth...just count your blessings and your money[except when playing poker]...have a great day...RTD
CLS...just got in from the SUPER NEIGHBORHOOD meeting....my first as president....things went fine so guess i will live through my term[unless something else gets me]think your dad and i may have the same broker...have a great one...see you later...best....rookie
Bulldzr...I have been saying that 2003 was the year since 2000 and you know how long i have been in idcc...no way will i give up at these prices...all i own is free stock since i sold 2000 shares at 66 and1/2 in the big run up...that broker can beg all he wants but i will be just a cold woman....no..no...no....too much fun to stop now....best to you and family...tell Rachel to keep hitting them over the fence.....Rookie
GO BLUE....You did good...lots of resistence in the 24-28 area...you and few other great forcasters need to get us over that hump...i'm getting tired of my broker calling and saying to get out at 25.....any thing for a commission....have a great day and keep us going tomorrow.....best.....Rookie
Norfork...let me try 66 and 1/2...RTD
NOHOTIN:...who ever it was didn't say what we all wanted to hear...the speculation that he was going to leave the country was evidentally just that..speculation...thought we were possibly going to get good news...best....RTD
TO ALL:...Saddam is just now beginning to speak on CNN.Speculation is that he is leaving the country...just speculation....hope..hope....best....RTD
Loop:Only time will tell whether the settlement was a good one or not...I am going along with the thought that it was a very good one but you know me...i'm always thinking i can come back in the last minutes and win the game...didn't work too well when we played North Car.State in the finals did it.But we did get to the finals...62 other teams didn't get there ,did they.hope our next lunch at Bonnies will be one where we all will be trying to pay the bill because we are feeling so good about the fat billfolds in our pockets....heck i hope i will even go to the track and make some 5 dollar bets instead of my usual 2.Best of luck to you and all the gang....RTD
AMRWONDERFUL: I fully understand your fustrations...about 3 years ago Mickey got a bunch of us to make guesses on what the settlement would be...as you can imagine,the guesses were in many directions....i remember that i guessed 700,000,000 and thought that i was too low...so you can see that i had some disappointment when we finally settled for 54,000,000...but i have to believe that a lot went on in the settlement that we don't know about...i do feel good about my constantly saying that the dispute would never get to court but at the worst be settled on the courthouse steps...at least i was close on one thing...so far I have been "keeping the faith" and hope I am going in the right direction....have been having fun anyway and have met some great folks along the way....hope to see you in Houston before long....Best....RTD
AMWONDERFUL:glad to know that you are a long and not a "ONCE".I have been a long since 1986 and have been upset a number of times...when i really get teeded of i call idcc and try to find out what has occurred....with long distance only costing 7 cents a minute i can talk a long time for a couple of bucks....sorry i mistook you for a basher...i still believe in idcc management and think that we all will do very well before 2003 and 2004 are completed....i have had lunch with a few of the really true longs and am well aware of their upset feelings toward management but they are still true longs and are holding on to their positions.....just as i plan to do....give some thought to calling Janet at idcc and see if maybe she can't get you settled down a bit...even when we don't always understand why,we have to believe or else sell....as ole Moose told me a few years ago..."keep the faith"....has been real good advice.....best to you and good luck....RTD
AMRWONDERFUL:I was hoping that bashers such as you wouldn't get on this board...What was your RB alais??i will bet you a thousand shares of idcc that we break 20 within the next 10 days....come on and take a chance...you know that the combat is coming within 48 hours so your chances of the market falling are good.....i am very serios on the bet...just say yes and i will send you my phone number and we will get the bet going....come on person....RTD
OT:when i was a late teenager and in my early 20s,I,along with most young folks in west va.,always went to the high school state all star football game that was held at the state capital each August....the game was just secondary...the fun was in drinking and raising heck for about three days...I eventually found that staying sober and watching others do the skirt chasing and drinking all the booze was more fun than participating...all the various posts today and tonight reminds me of those days...i have really enjoyed all the different thoughts and feelings that the board members have expressed...don't know which ones i agree or disagree with but i am sure of one thing....i loved the $5.00+ that the stock increased in price today...good or bad settlement..i will take that amount of increase every day and smile all the way to the bank...more fun to just lurk and read...don't need to even think or post...thanks to all of you good folks.....Best...RTD
OT:Bulldzr..congrats to the Big R...seems as if we are in for a good year again...got the word from Tucker and he was really high on her playing ability...give her my best wishes....best...Rookie
Memphis70...Ditto...best...RTD
OT:Tucker...sometimes i think you may be a little bit of a trouble maker...will get to work on Bonnies...have a great evening....RTD
Hey Paul.....been trying to make some sense out of this market but am completely lost...things that used to make some sense no longer seem to matter to the market....earnings and propects of future earnings no longer make stocks move up and little parts of news appear to bounce the market in all direction...I don't blame a company[idcc] for not putting out news as whatever they give to the public will be forgotten by the market in a day or so...I just think that what we know or think we know about the company is what we need to go by and when the market gets back [if ever]to moving on prospects and earnings then we might be able to make some logical judgements...right now i think that the hedge funds are controlling the movements of the market and about all we can do is buckle up the seat belts and hold on tight.frankly,I would rather try to pick the dogs at the track and play poker at the casinos than try to guess the market....I know the smart boys are loading up at their own prices and just waiting for us to give up and throw in the towell...I don't think that too many on this board will throw that towell very far...just don't go short...that could get us up the creek without the paddle etc.We probably need a lunch at Bonnies...seems as if we have all the answers when we are there LOL...best....RTD
SPREE:You are now posting with the big boys...don't make a fool of yourself by trying to tell them what ia what...you are not on the raging bull now.....listen and don't talk so much....best....RTD
CHUCK....you are probably correct on getting a new one but i don't think the sunday night results would take care of paying for it...best....Rookie
yes,i had trouble right after the market closed....RTD
BULLDZR: just read your mail to gamco....my computer has been out due to water in phone line...never got your private message....try e mail....am not on the paying part...heck,i am lucky to pay for lunch at Bonnies...best ..RTD
OT:GAMCO....You have mail...forgot...no news at all...just waiting like everyone else...best...rookie
Bulldzr...thanks...the rundown was great...be sure and tell the athletes hello for me...best...rookie
OT:Dagrinch...always great to hear from the ole gang posting again...these past three years or so have been great for hearing from new and old friends...will be so glad when we finally hit the 100 mark and we can all meet..am really interested in seeing how we finish up with ercy...i remember when Mickey had us all posting our guesses as to what the ercy settlement would be and nicmar and i guessed at 750 million plus agreements...have often wondered how close we would come...might soon know....hope all is going good with you and family...bet the grand daughter is really growing up and spicing up your life..my great grand daughter is doing fine..the special school has really helped her...one of these days she and clara might get a chance to meet and play together...Houston 100...maybe!!!...best....rookie
Bulldzr....where you been,buddy....missed your posts and hearing from you...how are those two athletes? missed getting the rundown on them...before you know it Rachel will be a senior and getting ready to play at Uof H[i hope].we are doing just fair but have a good team...should start doing better as the weather starts warming up....give my best to the family....TD
MMB...email me at user564136@cs.com and give me your name and phone number....you need to start attending the meetings and lunchens at Bonnies when we have them.best RTD richard dickenson ...better know around here as "Rookie"....phone 713 941 1636....i live in the Almeda Mall area.....
TO ALL: My feeling is that when all show up at THe HOUSTON 100 and have to meet the folks you are "fightin and cussin" with here on the board,some of you are going to feel like fools...might be a lot more fun to start preparing for that event than to have to feel so foolish when it arrives...as one who as met a few of the board i can honestly say that the ones i have met are really great folks and i am glad to know them and to call them friends...you guys who are posting fighting words to each other might think about that day and the fun we all will have...better to be part of the "in" group than someone on the "outside" looking in.....its not too late to make some new friends...at least give it some serious thought....best to all...RTD
GO BLUE: do you have any idea what the after hours prices of idcc have been?....btw....Gaines enrolled at some small school in kentucky....don't know how he has been doing...if i find out i will let you know....Best...RTD
GAMCO...really like your humor....never thought of it that way.....great to hear from you....hope your dad is doing well.....best...rookie
VIV:..i wasn't observing...just listening...ggg...have a great day....RTD
