This is a good chance for Lazard to tell the company’s story. It had a good open and that’s what got him on. Now he has a chance to build on that. Of coarse he can’t say too much without getting in trouble with the SEC but the company has a good story even without hype. Sanford is tough and cynical so it wont be easy tho.

Sanford fucked him no doubt about that. Larry tried and didn’t do bad but he didn’t stop him either. I’ve cut HOFC to a buy but am still bullish just don’t know about tomorrow. Larrys got to tell the story better maybe he shouldnt have gone on in the quiet period but you gotta give him credit for trying. Hes right that he understands e-com security and he kept his cool but a low blow from Sanford about him being an excon and he didn’t handle it as good as he should.
Still a good story but there in the big leagues now and have to hit big league pitching.

No activity in the aftermarket.

Larry and his wife Louise sit naked in their hot tub with drinks and cigars. The hot tub is recessed in a cedar deck which projects from the nearly vertical face of the ocean-facing cliff in Atlantic Highlands, New Jersey. They have privacy while the leaves are on the trees.

To the East, descriptively-named Sandy Hook is dark in the foreground, while the lights of thirty miles of ships leaving and entering New York harbor are in the background. To the North across the harbor are well-lit Kennedy Airport and Coney Island. To the West, are the Verazano, Brooklyn, and Manhattan bridges, and, on a clear night like tonight, the George Washington in the distance. Their house is cantilevered into the cliff behind and above them.

“I fucked up,” says Larry. “I fucked up royally. No one will buy the stock.”

“Probably no one even watches that CNNfn thing. I never heard of it,” says Louise. She hadn’t been able to watch or Tivo the interview because Larry had told her (as Eve had told him) that it was going to be on CNN.

“Investors watch it,” says Larry. “They’ll all sell in the morning. That guy Sanford hates me; he said he hates me because I made so much money in the IPO. And he screwed me because he hates me and I couldn’t stop him.”

“You’re never as bad as you think you are,” Louise says. Underwater, she grasps his very limp penis. When he stirs slightly, she arches her back so that her dark nipples break free of the water. “The stock closed at thirty dollars,” she says. “You and I are worth 200 million or something on paper. You should fuck up like that every day.”

Larry reaches around her back and rubs her right nipple. The nipple immediately stiffens.

“Two-hundred-five million and change,” he says. “You’re not so bad yourself.” Now he’s erect.

“We are what we are,” she says and pivots onto his lap straddling him and taking him deep into her.

In the distance, a ship’s horn gives a long sigh.
