To All: I really can't see the weakness here especially during a terrible period for IT Sales. where do you think they get a lot of their cash flow from? they need more and more employees, to hand out more and more of your shareholder value to in the form of ESO's, so that the company can take in the tax credits and the strike prices from these ESO's to turn into cash flow..... talk about robbing peter to pay paul...... they are taking shares... selling them on the market, and taking that money and putting it in their bank account, then refuse to release this money to the people who they got the money from in the first place.... mainly because it costs them more to buy, then they did to sell the shares.... they are buying high and selling low..... and the only way they can do this is to guarantee that they sell low first, and buy back higher later.... a guaranteed losing way to treat your shares..... but all the while the cash flow appears to increase, while your share of it continues to decrease..... jon.
