That Yahooligan could have fabricated that entire post
I'm sure there is not a thread of truth in it. Of course there is the back to school and Xmas buying season to consider, so ASLC's warehousing of product is a plausible statement, but the person who posted that Friday afternoon, could have just as easially fabricated that as well. (besides, Now that Win'2000 will just be another MSFT ripoff Win'95/98 16bit POS OS, nobodies gonna be rushing to upgrade like they would have with a 32bit multiprocessing Win'2000'NT version bundled with P&P drivers for consumers.) Bottom line is ALSC screwed up bigtime, and no amount of justification will forgive that. If people are going to make up reasons for their inventory build-up, let's see people put a positive spin on growing A/P balances as well. How many clouds are we going to paint with a silver linings, while this stock continues to ignore shareholders. They wouldnt even lets us in on the CC! And don't give me this 'it was $3' crap. This stock has bearly managed to average any higher than it's IPO price. Pathetic. If the CEO/CFO's wanna sit on their asses all day watching the Taiwanese stock market instead of making Semi's profitably, then let them close up shop and run a mutual fund with OUR MONEY instead of losing it, mismanaging the companies crappy quarters. I've been dissappointed so many times by this company over the last 6 years, I don't know why I even bother to follow it. I guess you figure after a company screws up 9 times, the 10th time they gotta get it right. Well, in my book, this POS is 10/10 at screwing shareholders, and I'm embarressed to have gotten so many people to buy it in the $11's. (You'd think I would have learned my lesson 2 years ago, after their stupid attempt to get into the graphic chip market with their TDFX/Rush Chip card.) I hope those of you who read my pre earnings posts, and bought the stock can forgive me. We can only pray that they don't mismanage their asset value so badly, that the stock will get worse. |
