ALU landed a monster contract with CHL, after the bell. As you know, STAR ripped through earnings expectations, based upon the 4g buildout by the major telcos. Regardless of where the market trades tomorrow or next week, the 4G buildout is real.
Are you prepared?
Of course you’re not.
I’ll just leave you hangin’ like that for awhile, in order to go drink some soda.

I’m going with biotech just in case our country is under attack. Maybe the whole stem cell thing. I really wish they weren’t destroying the planet with the atmospheric seeding and whatever the chemical clouds contain. Not sure if it’s enemies of the US that are behind it either. In any case, it ain’t good.
rumor is that it would be in Verizon’s interest to have wide 4G deployment
that guy kunal on twitter is mocking flys work im real annoyed i confronted him and he said it was the other way around.
right there with you on S.
Sprint is bringing 4G to my city this year. I have been using a Sprint Cell phone for 10 years and the quality and value have always been good.
This is exciting stuff. I like what Sprint is doing with 4G, and the fact that T and VS get all the love from the twitter/blogger crowd makes me like S even more.
Will 4G feature more Jennifer Connelly pics?

I had to repost my original post about Sprint down here because it was marked as spam when I tried to edit it. This has been happening a lot on the main blog.

Who cares? i don’t even know who he is.
New Yorkers: I could not believe the incident with the jet today. Unbelievable! You must have been livid. Rightly so. Just wanted you to know that I did my part by writing the White House to ask for the termination of anyone responsible for this idiocy.
Here’s my letter:
Dear President Obama,
I am writing to tell you of my displeasure with the decision to photograph the presidential jet over New York City.
Whomever made this decision, and anyone who failed to communicate this decision to the public, demonstrated an incomprehensible level of poor judgment and recklessness. Simply, they are incompetent. Grossly incompetent.
I implore you to remove them from their office, and replace them with wise, sober, thoughtful leaders.
I voted for you. I am rooting for you. However, this incident is beyond the pale. Terminate these goofs from top to bottom. Their decision making skills are questionable at best.
Clean house, sir.
Thank you kindly.
All the best,
MOOBER

man, what’s going on overnight? yen strengthening like mad, gold down, SPY futures down triple-digits (with statistically-significant higher-than-average overnight volume to back it up)
is there any news/rumors coming out?
Now, indulge yourself for a second and imagine it was Bush or “a Bush official.”
What point typeface do you think you’d see in the New York Times tomorrow? 64? 128?
Now… do you think this will even make the front page of the Times tomorrow?
Here’s how it’s being featured on the on-line version (see if you can spot it).
Yeah, Boom, you fell for it, alright.
Hook, line, and we are all sunk.

SPY futures down triple-digits
????
Watchoo tawkin’ bout, Willis?

double-digits, whoops 😛 i got distracted with INDU
still my point still stands, this is some heavy movement in the past few hours.
From the Times article:
The White House did not issue a statement, or a formal apology, for more than six hours. At first, the White House press secretary, Robert Gibbs, dismissed questions, saying: “You might be surprised to know I don’t know of every movement of Air Force One or what happens to it.”
Another douchebag who wore out his welcome within about two weeks….

Jake – I agree, Bush would have been crucified, and this discrepancy is not fair.
That said, I don’t think I fell for anything. You know why I voted the way I did, and you know my reasons were valid.
Do I like how everything is going down? Nope. Do I like some of it? Yep.
However, I’m not going to argue my politics with you. No sense in that as we will not change either of our opinions. 🙂
Tweet you tomorrow, bud. Sleep well.
Jake/Moober,
Here is one we can possibly all agree on:
http://www.cnn.com/2009/POLITICS/04/27/poll.obama.policies/index.html
oh, apparently this is the cause, apparently that was leaked recently
apparently the banks are about to get into a public pissing match with the gov.
No problem – Citi can just raise interest rates to 63% on all existing balances.
Do I like some of it? Yep.
I’m on pins and needles to find out what about it thus far you “like?”
(Besides the novelty and self congratualtory glow of having voted for the first AA Prez, I mean.)

Lazy,
Yes, the superficiality indicated in that poll has been depressing me ever since the People’s (Magazine) Candidate broke on the scene.
Shit, he even got the Fly to vote for him.

Did you really just say that?
Sleep well, bud.
Are you saying that Fly voted O. Take it back, Fly must be a capitalist!
I recall talk of taxing coal out of existence, hating nuclear, winfall profits taxes on oil, etc.
I give props to you Jake after the Canadian bank discussion which I just read tonight. You are a formidable debater.
Allow me to sum it up.
Our crap education system turns out wage slaves who can not be counted on to make intelligent assessments and/or logical decisions regarding most matters – so they rely on their emotions.
Sad.
PLEASE – no more f-ing Canada!!!
wow. FAZ may actually have an up day tomorrow. lol
Sorry Lazy, props to you also for the debate and current LOL. It is late here and I have to get the wife off to nursing school in 5 hours.
If Faz is up, where do 4G’s go up as well, as that is where I need em to go.
Canada is nothing more than an ice highway to the artic
Fly,it seems you have been riding kunal tailgate.Taking credit for another person picks,
BLOWS!
To put the NYC thing on Obama’s shoulders is nonsensical.
I’ve never imagined my president having to authorize what photo ops the Air Force is going to do next (note that it’s only called ‘Air Force One’ when the pres. is aboard, which he obviously wasn’t in this case).
I got a crack out of the press secretary’s sarcastic remark. Perhaps not entirely professional, but so very true.
Similar thing happened during the Bush years and (rightly so) nobody gave two fucks about it (A Continental jumbo jet got authorization to fly over NYC).
And please note that I’m not defending the people responsible for this waste of time, resources, and taxpayer money. Whoever actually authorized this, should, at least, be demoted.
So settle down, bark dogs. Be happy and browse for more J.Connelly pictures. 🙂
the real tragedy in the NYC flyover is that the American Military does not posses the secret technology known as “photoshop”. christ.
“Canada is nothing more than an ice highway to the ar(c)tic…” that brings Americans all the raw materials they will need to subsist once they’ve fucked every nation over so badly that no one else will talk to them. (And look after all the unemployed who can no longer afford health insurance.) Canada says: You’re welcome America.
4G will be important during the swine flu epidemic since we won’t be able to talk to each other face to face any more.

Wrong. Canada shall fall under the direct supervision of (he north american trilateral commission, where all insurance products will be deemed null and void, mainly due to Canada’s lack of intellectual property, with reference to biopharma. Your glorious nation shall be subject to outright peasantry cutting timber for the US, at incredibly cheap rates, until your resources have been depleted.
Re:”Wrong. Canada shall fall under the direct supervision of …” Hehe, in other words, nothing much will change from how it is now. Whew.
And here I thought Canada existed to show that there is a “better way to live”. After all, it’s number three on the Human Development Index.
The US? No. 15
Looks like it’s 5 times better to live here than there.

4G is going to be huge, I remember Akami and Limelight being 3G players about a year ago, while the market was sliding. They were good $ plays.
Moober, you sure are a goober. Scared shitless by a couple of planes flying overhead. You must have gotten a MEGADOSE of Bush-Rove “We will SCARE YOU!” Bullshit on “terrorism”.
Me – I drink beer and play golf.
canada is the #1 supplier of oil to the US –
All this pig talk has stimulated me ..I want bacon or a fat broad ..gonna go with the bacon it’s insanity to think I could pick up a large waitress in the middle of her breakfast shift
The only question I have about the planes flying overhead in NYC is hasn’t Comrade Obama ever heard of Photoshop software?
Put some pictures out of AirForce One flying over the Pyramids or the Kremlin in Moscow.
Maelstrom- Head over to Waffle House. That way you can get your bacon and a fat sweaty waitress all at the same time.
Despite “chain of command” the plane stupidity was less about the white house than about Dept of Defense. Our military has no concept of waste and the stupidity is bottomless.

Good Morning Vietnam.
J:
I don’t know, things holding up pretty well so far.
I bought some BofA today The wall Street journal piece is far too negative. CS recently calculated and figured that BofA needs about $8 to $12 billion of capital to fit within the parameters of the test.
This was before the profit reporting. Now if BAC sells the private bank for 5 billion which was coming out of Merrill, BAC would be basically fine in terms of meeting the guidelines of the stress test.
Won’t hold it for long though and have it on a tight leash.
Also bought some dollar yen just below here.
yea Mush:
I changed mind pretty quickly as you can see.
You gotta be fucking flexible in this market or you die. Flexible and absolutely ruthless. If a stock doesn’t work then out in the trash can it goes. Same goes with shorts.
J, Yep.
Stock pickers market today. Enjoying watching my SWN break out this morning, and added some YHOO this morning on weakness.
Done for the AM.
Thanks long AMZN,Short SMH.
No thanks to an in and out on GOOG.
That will teach me. Stick to SMH.
Bought some Sprint this morning
Don’t worry about pigs with hacking coughs and runny noses. Breath deep. Take in the sweet scent of green shoots in the spring.

Who here thinks that if they would have let the shitty banks go bust months ago and let the good banks ( the small and community banks) pick up the pieces, that things would be getting better in the financial sector by now? I do.
This fuckery of the capitalist system will hurt more in the long run. You can bank on it
I got a crack out of the press secretary’s sarcastic remark. Perhaps not entirely professional, but so very true.
I’m glad you did. I’m sure the thousands of people evacuated from high floor office buildings in Jersey and New York didn’t get any similar “crack.” And wtf does the Presidential Press Secretary not know about the goings of the President’s plane? Given the panic the idiocy caused (the plane was w/in a winglength of one of the buildings… a fucking 747!), you would have thought that dufus would have at least taken a more concialiatory tone. Prediction, he is gone within the year.
Similar thing happened during the Bush years and (rightly so) nobody gave two fucks about it (A Continental jumbo jet got authorization to fly over NYC).
You obviously are talking out of your ass now, because nothing ever “similar” — even remotely — happened during the Bush years. People thought this was 911 all over. You need to actually read the news reports before knee-jerking to defense of the big O.
And please note that I’m not defending the people responsible for this waste of time, resources, and taxpayer money. Whoever actually authorized this, should, at least, be demoted.
Yeah, you are, and egregiously so, because it’s apparent you read nothing but maybe the headline. That said, the fucker who authorized this should be shitcanned, not demoted.

This reads a lot like that piece of Marxist claptrap that Hugo gave the Bamster at the Americas Conference.
Did the U.S. pay you icebergers for your goods, or are you going to complain — like the lameass S. American Marxists — that they were “stolen” from you?
Jeez, at least the goofs down in SA can hide behind a charge of “racism” — what are you guys going to claim?
