Drunken midgets shot from cannons, while a grotesquely obese audience prays for a head to wall decapitation.

Gregarious, yet nefarious, executives sell wooden scraps, disguised as metal to unsuspecting smelters, in accordance with grinning accountants.

And finally, ham and egg investors peruse the internet for inarticulate drivel, providing it is filled with acrimonious sentiments, hosted by wildly callow men.

    Fly,

    You have just proven that working for a living is totally over rated. Ah, to be of the character of the Fly to have the time of leisure and contemplation to develop and post prose in the off hours of battle.

    I know I have been working too hard. I actually appreciate the rampant verbosity found only here…if there were only more time.

    Shouting hordes beg for mercy, while cartoonish grandfathers deliver aural punishment and extract green from leather folds.

    Critical, yet pitiful, tyrants sell paper neatly bundled disguised as reviews to unknowing observers, in accordance with their shifting editors.

    And finally, bacon and cheese attendors peruse the internet for indistinguishable video, providing it is filled with acrid smoke, hoisted lights and wildly cajoling stars.

    Citi on the big AA tonight:

    Alcoa Inc. (AA)
    3Q09 – Quarter Beat but Not the Profit Headlines Suggest, Cost Initiatives Ahead of Plan, Positive on Al, Maintain Buy

    What’s New — We are raising our earnings estimates for AA to $0.48 from $0.24 in 2010 and to $0.80 from $0.60 for 2011 based on CIRA’s new aluminum price forecasts of $0.86/lb and $0.92/lb, respectively. Our target price increases to $17/sh (from $14) based on 1.4x fully-diluted book value, which also corresponds to roughly 15x our “normal” earnings assessment of $1.13/sh.
    Results – AA reported operating EPS of $0.04 for 3Q vs our loss estimate of $0.10/sh and the consensus loss estimate of $0.09. Upside to our estimate stemmed from accelerated cost reductions and an income tax benefit worth up to $0.06/sh, but since this tax benefit reflects a true-up from 2Q we opted to include it. Under either interpretation, results were better than expected. …

    China eats metals for fancy brunch. I’m pretty sure I could give a conference call saying I sold a million tons of steel to China and nobody could really question it. But yeah, metals to catch fire. HSC.

        yep, they probably had a flux of letters, including mine on how shitty the new look ended up and how fucked up the idea was, whoever the boneheads were that thought it up.

        I still do not like it….

    Starent Networks tgt raised to $31 at CL King following comments from FCC Chairman (28.19 +0.35)
    CL King raises their STAR tgt to $31 from $29. The firm notes that yesterday at the CTIA wireless industry convention in San Diego, which the firm attended, FCC Chairman Julius Genachowski projected a significant acceleration in mobile data traffic over the next several years. According to the Chairman, mobile data traffic could grow to 400 petabytes per month in 2013 from six petabytes per month today. The firm believes carriers, not only in the U.S. but internationally, could be challenged to keep up with the demand as smartphones move into the mainstream and mobile video service becomes popular. In the next few years, downloads of full-length motion pictures and TV programs onto smartphones, netbooks, and tablet PCs could be fairly common. Because STAR’s equipment is more efficient than the solutions offered by its competitors, the firm believes that it should be particularly well positioned to benefit.
