Confine your comments to issues pertaining to Wind River.

My background is none of your business. This thread is about Wind River, not me. You can hold any prejudices you choose, but keep them to yourself. You and Brian have already used the fact that you know my age to degenerate this thread into a flame war, and I have no intention of supplying you with more ammunition.

Here are some thoughts from Brian that you seem to concur with:

Your posts contain much good information, and many good thoughts. However, you also include many misstatements and false innuendo regarding the real-time industry and Wind River, which I feel need setting straight.... Given the fact that others (e.g., Sparky) may tend to believe you, I and others feel the need to intervene.

Everyone reading this thread has a brain and can decide for himself whether or not anything I write or you write or Brian writes is going to affect their investment decisions. Nobody should be invested or shorted in this stock without the competence to evaluate the discourse on this thread. A computer professional should invest in computer industry stocks and a medical professional should be invested in medical stocks. If our posts sound like gibberish, it's time to close the position.

Small stocks like Wind River tend to be more often overpriced or underpriced than big stocks followed by many analysts, and you invest in them at your peril. Most recognize that they're unqualified to evaluate small stocks, so they buy index funds. Perhaps, this has caused some big stocks to rise more than they should, but it's better than rampant blind speculation based on investment bank marketing hype. If you lose money on a stock or miss out on profits because you're unqualified to evaluate the company, you have nobody to blame, except yourself.

Let the buyer and the seller beware!
