endgame for new century / new ?!

a big restatement for 3 quarters and a massive warning for the fourth quarter. if you have the guts you can read the press release here http://tinyurl.com/yqkeya . i´ve hard almost every call from them since 2005 and was shocked by perma optimism from management. i can smell lawsuits .......

verkehre bilanzen für 2006 und ne fette warnung. oben könnt ihr die presseerklärung nachlesen. ich habe von denen seit 2005 jeden call gehört und konnte den daueroptimismus des managements nicht fassen. nun kommen sicher saftige klagen auf die zu..........



the cannot offer a date when the are able to file the final results and are proud that they still have 350 mio$ in cash and liquidity. well, with billions of loans coming back to new century this number could not be enough. and remember, they praised almost every month their strong loan production...

bisher können die kein genaues datum nennen wann ne bilanz vorgelegt werden kann. immerhin sind sie stolz das sie noch 350 mio$ in cash und liquidität vorhalten. bei mrd von austehenden krediten können die in rekordzeit weg sein. man sollte zudem in erinnerung rufen wie jeden monat die starken kreditproduktionszhalen vom management abgefeiert worden sind.
