Ming Is Delirious With Joy

His favorite stock, Dendreon, was up an eye-popping ten cents today. Obviously, the Shorts' computerized algorithms malfunctioned. Meanwhile, a giddy Ming, flush with success, will squander his this windfall on that package of suspiciously green frankfurters he's been lusting after. The discount store owner swears the expiration date wasn't altered and the price is now within Ming's grasp. Fortunately, Ming's quotidian expenses are modest. His well-appointed pied-a-terre overlooks the Hudson River although at high tide, the cardboard does get wet. Conversely, by then the overhead bridge traffic is usually light, so it all evens out. Its not easy being a Dendreon shareholder.
