One little word...

[BRWombat]

One way I keep track of breaking Disney news is through stockbroker AG Edwards financial reports. Any time the word 'Disney' appears in their 'Market Movers' news items, I get a text message.

At 1:00 p.m. yesterday, this came across their wire:

[indent]LOS ANGELES (MarketWatch) -- Walt Disney Co. (DIS) Chief Financial Officer Thomas Staggs said Monday there were plans by the company to develop another major theme park in the United States in the "foreseeable future." ...[/indent]Then, at 2:19:

[indent]LOS ANGELES (MarketWatch) -- Walt Disney Co. (DIS) Chief Financial Officer Thomas Staggs said Monday there were no plans by the company to develop another major theme park in the United States in the "foreseeable future." ... (Corrects to say Staggs said no new U.S. theme parks were planned.)[/indent]Arrrggghh! :mad:

Just a way for them to artificially inflate the stock price by 0.25 in the hopes that no one read the second blurb. Happens all the time.

One little word...

Digging, digging, digging... There's a joke I'm hoping to find that I ran across years ago... Ah, here it is!

Dear Father, $chool i$ really great. I am making lot$ of friend$ and $tudying very hard. With all my $tuff, I $imply ¢an't think of anything I need, $o if you would like, you can ju$t $end me a card, a$ I would love to hear from you.

Your $on $teve


After receiving his son's letter, the father immediately replies by sending a letter back.

Dear Son,

I kNOw that astroNOmy, ecoNOmics, and oceaNOgraphy are eNOugh to keep even an hoNOr student busy. Do NOt forget that the pursuit of kNOwledge is a NOble task, and you can never study eNOugh.

Love,
Dad

Just reread this post BRW. You get a TXT from your stockbroker??? You have 20 breaks a day & a stockbroker? Man, sounds like Garland has set you up well. Or....have you set Garland up? :D: J/K

Choose the sarcastic response:
[indent]1. I'm independently wealthy from my chain of llama farms.

2. I didn't say I had any money invested. Anyone can set up a text message from AG Edwards. And I'm namedropping them to look like a big shot.

3. Hey, look, a flower!!![/indent]

Learning from the best, he is. In fact, I saw everyone look. Except Zazu.

I want one of your llamas, Wombat. They could carry my stuff in park and spit on SGs.
