Big Al, the broker's pal:
I wish I had the Big Al account. Forget new clients, just call Big Al and tell him that NXTL is going against him. Need to make the house payment? Call Big Al once a week. Need a vacation? Call Big Al twice a week. Need a new car? Call Big Al hourly, reminding him that the sky is falling one hour and it's been miraculously restored the next hour. As Big Al's broker, I'd have to hire two new folks to handle all the back room paperwork but it will be worth it. I think I'll call my new brokerage business Next-Tip. Shucks, I think I'll even throw in a free I600 for Big Al's use so he won't miss an opportunity to trade. He'll probably increase NXTL's arpu by $2 with all his calls to Next-Tip. Big Al, my wife will thank you, my kids will thank you, my kids' university will thank you and I will thank you.
Arnie, the trader's pal :-))
P.S. Sell Nextel before 11 a.m. this morning as I heard a rumor that the stock will head down at that point. Rebuy at 11:16 a.m. as I see a technical rebound that will last about 45 minutes. From there, may I suggest the options, particularly spreads, straddles and naked puts. Buy 'em, sell 'em, heck, I don't care, just do something. |
