Love the theme, love the enthusiasm, a little strong on the delivery...

Go all the way out, -11.2 billion and a can of lamp oil.
When Mike the intern was sending our order in through E-Trade, it said only click the submit button once, but it never came back up. So I went over and we kept hitting F5, clicking the refresh button, and hitting submit nothing. Finally the screen came back up (that's what we get for using a dial-up connection), and Mike and I had bought something like 35MM shares. That's when I relaxed, we had a ton of stock but as an IPO it should go up and past 40. Mike and I would be heroes to the firm....
Everything this dude does smacks of conflict of interest. In isolation each even looks shady, but in totality it looks unreal. As someone who watched Enron blow up from the inside, this guy's mentality is not unique and really does fit the shadier portions of the energy culture. I'm also interested to see how ISI treats this come voting time and if they will recommend against all directors because they all seem to have been asleep at the wheel.
Real simple, the Merrill Broker and the CEO tried to feed Einhorn a "s**t" sandwich by getting him to wall cross and sign an NDA. Einhorn was having none of it and has played the game long enough to see it coming and refused. It should be on the CEO and Broker not to engage the discussion if the investor is smart enough not to sign. Einhorn was totally in the clear, but the FSA is too stupid to understand the difference. If I tell you don't talk to me about it and you do anyway that's your stupid fault not mine.
UBS has no peer but is under the impression that others may pass it on a race to the bottom so they up the ante.
Can't take credit but can post here:
Yes, leave....at 5:00 PM everyday.
One other teeny tiny problem Matt...CS has a tendency to binge and purge more so then the other banks. So say your are year 6 in on a nine year wait, you still going to be eligible once they decide to take everyone out at your level? Also for this, you would have to stay at CS for 9 years which is its own form of hell.
Just like MU jumped for stability so is WVU. Sure everyone in Big East is dreaming of those trips to Boise. Welcome to the new world order the SEC helped create. Not saying good or bad...just is.
