The Market is Like a Griddle Full of Pancakes...

They have to be flipped eventually and when they are ... there is always a momentary lapse in predictability while they hover in the air halfway upside down...at this moment some of the batter which is not completely cooked from the last heat-trend exposure goes flying off the sides - some batter droplets luckily land precariously on the sides of the skillet other's land right in the flames...until the pancake lands successfully on the uncooked side, revealing an unburned bottom and beginning to cook on the new side, no one is willing to commit to any condimentary or pancake futures...I mean really - would you buy into plates and syrup if you didn't even know if the pancake was going to crash and burn on the flip...

So what kind of pancakes is the US cooking at the moment...Blueberry, Strawberry, Blackberry...mmmm.....no

We've been serving up WarBerry pancakes, election beignets, and iPhone waffles...etc etc, now we're flipping some war pancakes and everyone wants to know where the burned spots are and if the other side is ready to cook - is the heat too high, which contracts are getting lost in the flip etc

Sprint pancake got flipped right into the fire...apple's iPhone was expected to displace 350,000 sprint customers but the flip revealed a big BURN - 638,000 lost customers and they are trying to blame it on the recession --> sorry Nextel --> Millennium Fashion demands Walkie talkies with color screens...!

Maybe when the AT&T pancake lands this week --> their underbelly earnings will be buttery, glistening, and golden brown --> their cakes extra plump with spill-over dough from the reckless Sprint-Nextel flip-out...!
