It's a boy!

By Joe Ponzio on October 19, 2007 | 24 comments

Thanks all for your kind words and e-mails. On October 17, 2007, Paul Ponzio was born. He's doing great. Mom's doing great. His sister's diong great. Me—I'm great.

Just wanted to drop you all a line that everything went swimmingly and that I'll be back on Monday.

By the way—check out Sharper Image (SHRP). Its break-up value may be around $5.60 a share. If you think the company is going to close up shop, it may be providing a nice margin of safety. If you think it will pull out of the mess it is in, it may be providing a nice margin of safety. If you think it is screwed and it will spend all of its assets before declaring bankruptcy, run. And if you aren't sure, skip it! There's another boat coming.

And now, I'm off for some long overdue sleep.

A man I know who made a lot of money with oil and gas stocks once told me that, while the money was great and making it was fun, he still considered his best asset and greatest investment to be his children. Congratulations.
