I have a feeling our "update" goes
something like this:
Meister-Oh hello Mr. Ainsworth!
Ainsworth-Scheister! How the hell are you? You see that Alpha share price? My God what a beauty. Say what the hell you doing with a blue string tied around your finger Scheister?
Meister-Uh its Meister sir. Yes I was suppose to remind you of something!
Ainsworth- You putting out another PR about Alpha? Good job Scheister-you know how I love keeping our loyal shareholders informed! Whats that make, 40 or so updates this year? Good job!
Meister-Um its Meister sir and no its not about Alpha its something else, ummmmm oh yes Copper Canyon
Ainsworth-Copper Crayon?? Why the hell would I need a copper crayon Scheister? You see that Alpha share price? Bought a whole case of Mont Blanc pen sets after that baby hit $5!! Remind me Scheister and Ill send you over a dozen!
Meister-Meister sir, And no not Copper Crayon, Copper Canyon, C-A-N-Y-O-N. Remember sir? You are the CEO
Ainsworth-Scheister, Meister what the hells the difference when Alpha is trading at $7? Yer a little too sensitive Scheister-now what the hell was that company again? Canyon, canyon....oh yes Copper Canyon. Yeah well what about it? Personally I wouldn't give you 2 cents for it
Meister- Well that would be a 10% "premium" over its current share price sir (both give a hearty laugh). I spoke with several shareholders who are expecting some sort of "update"
Ainsworth-Update? Update? I got an update for them-tell them to buy Alpha stock (another laugh)
Meister-Well sir I told them you were having a meeting concerning the company and....
Ainsworth-What the hell you call what were doing Scheister? Sounds like a damn meeting to me! Just tell the uusual
Meister- Uh you mean....
Ainsworth-You know damn well Scheister! Exactly how much am I paying you again? The usual-"moving foward", "bright future", "excellent properties"and my personal favorite "building shareholder value". Hey what the hell you doing there Scheister??
Meister- I'm tying a new string on my finger so I can remember to put out a Pr on our "meeting" sir. And see? This time its a COPPER colored string so i can remember!!!
Ainsworth-Good one Scheister!! Almost as funny as that company we announced as a jv- Sandpit right?? Sandpit? that reminds me, I've got a golf game with a couple of grateful Alpha shareholders who are then taking me out to dinner then flying me and the fam down to the Caymans for the labor day weekend. Remind me when I get back about that crayon company again
Meister- Uh I think it was Sanfield sir and its Copper Canyon
Ainsworth-Yes yes of course...and remind me to get you a new tie for christmas scheister......and, have you seen that Alpha share price?
