Subject: Re: I'm buying into Target
You show me the great numbers on a great stock, and then tell me the
CFO isn't cooking the books.  Gut feeling, reality.  I would never buy
a stock on it's numbers.  I used to do corporate bankruptcies for
Harvard lawyers helping to bail out the investors who believed in
somebody's great numbers.  I actually mailed out the Charles Keating
"sorry folks, you lost everything" to their investors.  Numbers can
lie big time.  That's the best way to lure investors to a stock, just
cook the books.  I see a really bad company out there, and the numbers
look too good to be true, hey, people lie.  Human frailty.  I can only
invest in something I see or I know.  I can give a rat's hat for a
spreadsheet because the CFO is in there somewhere.  I don't know this
person, I haven't seen the files, all I'm looking at is a
spreadsheet.  I'm not looking at the receipts or the invoices.  Hey -
it goes on all day long.
