Every once in a while there is a news clip about how someone has claimed to have seen a abberation of some holy person in their food or on a wall somewhere. Years ago, I read an article in a paper that a 12 year boy in a southern Texas town had claimed that he had seen the image of Jesus Christ on the bumper of a car. By nightfall over a thousand people had gathered around this car hoping to see this same image.
A rise in our share price gives me an indication of how these people must have felt at the end of the day. Waiting for their saviour to provide a sign that he will be returning to the earth some day.This is not unlike hoping that a few cents up on the stockboard means a buyout is coming. After all these years I am thinking I am more likely to see an image of Elmer in my burritto than a news release saying we have been sold.
