Reuters is pouring cold water all over the story that SK Telecom, the Korean telecom company, and Sprint Nextel are in acquisition talks. Instead, any talks are about a technology collaboration. Reuters sources their story to "a person familiar with the matter."
Two hours ago CNBC's David Faber reported that SK and Sprint were in merger talks.
We expect that the SEC is now investigating these dangerously misleading rumors that pushed Sprint's stock up almost 9 percent today. Or does the investigation have a "downtick" rule?

I saw the Bess picture in a comment in the Sorkin/Carney post, and the message was deleted pretty quick. I did save the URL.
I can understand why Bess doesn't want that picture posted.

Two comments in particular from last week led me to believe that at least some of you missed me.
1) "I'd like a large serving of Sex with a side of Crazy, thank you."
2) " It's okay if TGFD comes back, but in moderation."
Erin's new gig:
Notice that she was chosen for a new Managing Director of Global Hedge Funds position. Want to know why? Here it is---Because when those hedge funds implode after the SEC, the Fed and Congress get through with them, the "skank" will be there to take the fall. Too bad they'll waste all that coin on her for the few weeks she'll be on the job. Sept 2nd? Is that when she starts? The implosion should start about then.

The Guy from Delaware-- what's your problem with erin? seriously? is it just that she's a chick?
Posted by guest , Jul 15, 2008 5:13PM
Guest@5:07pm...
I didn't write the comments. I obviously can't convince you, so all I can say is, "I didn't".
Guest@5:08pm...
She fits my definition of a "skank". What about my take on her new gig?

Good question. A "skank" can be a good businesswoman; however, Erin is both a "skank" and a not-so-good businesswoman.
The old saying about people getting promoted till they are in over their heads and become incompetent applies to Erin. She was ineffective as CFO at LEH. I predicted her imminent fall shortly before it occured. She foolishly thought she was a celebrity, etc. She is already set up for another fall. Sept 2nd is 1-1/2 months from now, so why doesn't her new boss want her to start right away? I wouldn't think LEH wants her hanging around for another 6 weeks anyhow.

Well, I just did 20 push-ups and 20 sit-ups. All 'buffed' now and heading up to the pool. The chicks all like my 'Lilly' swim trunks. They giggle and say, "It takes a real man to wear pink Lillys".

Sprint overcharged my small (US) company for over $50,000.00. We caught them doing it and now they refuse to refund the over-payments. You can read the full story at http://www.sprint-really-sucks.com
I also wrote an open letter to Dan Hesse the Chairman and CEO of Sprint Nextel. It is a good read so please consider reading the letter.

I guess the post about the Lillys might have been a bit much. You're right. I'll try to back off a bit.
What about you? Are you going soft? What happened to that "Full-Bore, In-Your-Face, Bring-It-On-Bitches" TOGFD who posted last week? That was your post, wasn't it?
Guest@5:43pm...
Retarded? Don't know. Never got checked. How about you? Your question was certainly "retarded".

Some of you wanted TGFD/TOGFD back. Now he's back. It's not only a full serving of sex & crazy, but it's a double-load of banality.
Posted by guest , Jul 16, 2008 7:54AM
TGFD@9:50 pm - Yep that was me. I'm not going soft...just a little winded from dicing with these folks by myself. Welcome back!
@11:03 pm - FYI, it's "they're back". Banality is in the eye of the beholder, asswipe.
