      General Discussion on LDL
      Update LDL @ $14.20 on 5/15/08, a month since my previous post here... about a 30% gain in a month NOT BAD! If it goes past $15, that's sweet, reset target @ $20, but sell @ $18- don't get greedy like I did last time. Just sell it and move on.

      General Discussion on EGY
      I am long EGY, and am considering loading up more. Anyway, wanted to see how others felt about the DeLorme thing. I kinda like management as it is since I am up 30% on this stock in a short time.

      Sun Microsystems: Burnout or Takeover Target?
      I would be glad to sell for $25 each every share I own. Sun Micro is a loser. Takeover? In my widest dreams.

      Vultures Already Inspecting Sprint's Carcass
      nice try. just a wild guess, but I think maybe your major factual error will rip the rose colored glasses from the face of this article, throw them on the ground, and grind them underfoot.

      A Crocs Play for Chickens
      Biker- quite right. Earnings today at 4 p.m. will suck, the shit will come crashing down- 15 or 20 % loss by the bell, $5 end of next week. Go Short.

      The Street Seems Disgusted With Sun Micro
      The street is disgusted. I am freakin' nauseated. $12.78 as I write this. Get management into the room and release the nerve gas. JAVA- it's official. You suck.

      General Discussion on SIRI
      $8 would be fine by me. Hell, $5 would be fine with me. I would be selling with all the speed of a hooker at the Adult Film Industry Convention in Vegas. Anyway maybe the price would go up quicker if Mel K. would shitcan the fake suntan motif. Most people don't like, or trust, fake looking bastards. I swear he was seperated at birth from that douchebag Angelo Mozilo (Countrywide), another CEO type who has lined his own pockets while his shareholders got tied down and buttf****ed without the benefit of lubrication. Please Mel, keep it real, and I swear all will be forgiven if you can make the stock go UP.

      General Discussion on LDL
      Lydall is $11 and is a buy at that price. I see it running up to $15 in short order. Sell it at $15 to be safe. I have bought & sold this one several times, getting in at around $8 and bailing at $12 (there seems to be resistance @ $12), but I think they are in for a bigger move this time. A year ago they were near $19 and I actually think it will get there again; at that time I was trying to double my money (bought @$10.00) but got caught in a downturn (Dumbass) so I held it. This time I won't be so greedy.

      Consumers Shifting Food Purchase Patterns Into Recession Mode
      If you want to know what is happening to consumer spending patterns, and the state of the economy, ask someone who knows first hand. I know a guy that works at the deli counter of a large supermarket chain, has worked there for years.

      He told me people are barely looking at the name brand meats and cheeses (Boars Head, Land of Lakes, etc) like they were a year or two ago. People are buying the discount (store) brands because of the lower prices. The store is cutting back big time on their orders of the name brand products, and getting a lot more of the generic stuff.

      He said the same is true for all the departments in the store... name brand products are being passed over in favor of lower priced products.

      Boots and Coots Looking to Fire Up Profits
      I am long WEL and sincerely hope you are right that thisn stock is ready to catch fire.

      Not that it counts for much, but the History Channel (or was it Discovery) did a show on Red Adair and the history of capping wells & putting out well fires, and interviewed Boots and Coots. A very cool show, check it out if you get the chance.

      Still Too Early to Buy Sirius - Merrill
      I think the price for SIRI is already ridiculously low.

      To all, I advise this- Get in and stay in for the long haul. This stock is going to go UP in capital letters.

      Does anyone think some sort of reverse split may be in the cards, to raise the stock price to a level that large institutions would consider investing in it? That sure backfired for Sun Microsystems.

      Blogonomics: The Seeking Alpha Model
      I like Seeking Alpha. Thanks for putting it up. Now I can vent without pissing off my wife. And I enjoy the occasional verbal assaults others lay on me...try that at my day job and get fired. Thanks.

      $5 Billion Expected in Radio Merger Synergies - Bear Stearns
      I own SIRI, bought it @ $4.25, and I think it will eventually turn into a winner, but not necessarily for the points already made by others. I will hold for the time being. I wish I had waited ($2.53 as I write this), but that water is already under the bridge. I do intend to add to my position at these prices.

      The root issue, to me, is the satellite communications capability being built into both companies. One of these days, cell phones will be passe and everyone will be carrying satellite phones. Imagine a company that is getting their infrastructure in place years in advance.

      I think a merger of SIRI/XMSR may well create a company that will be a friggin' GIANT when that happens.

      General Discussion on JAVA
      Masher-

      I will look into a DRIP program as you mentioned. I appreciate that information. Thank you.

      As far as the history of Sun Microsystems, perhaps a consolidation was needed. Whatever... but all the history I really need to know is illustrated, in painful clarity, by the the stock price since September 2007. I really am happy that now large institutions would now consider buying JAVA; I just wish they were doing it at $30 a share instead of $15. But unless these nebulous "large institutions" hurry, they will miss the great opportunity they have been given, because this mutt is poised to go back under $10 a share again. I bet they'll regret having missed the boat on that one...NOT!!!
