Iridium $10B Market Cap before Tanking
by: sevencentsworth
10342 of 10346

Iridium was in this same exact position last year before tanking.
Is it time to short or will this thing go up a bit more on hype???
Iridium hit $ 70 (approx $10B market cap) a share before it's demise. It's web site looked similar to G*s.
No real way to sign-up or buy a phone. Partners web sites also without a clear way to sign up. Calls to
providers answered with "what are you talking about, let me take your name and number and I'll get back
to you." There is no clear description of how marketing is going to work. Bernie's statement of
"Marketing strategy in place". What the he** does that mean? Go out to Honduras or any other foreign
G* partner web site all you find is "license granted". What the He** does that mean??? Where are the
prices, the sign up forms, the discriptions to the potential user how G* is going to work for the user in
their area. How roaming is going to work. Where's the info??? why not use the G* phone as a cell phone
until the system is operational?

Is this net work of companies really working to make this a success? Iridium's partners thought if you
build it they will come.
They didn't figure it would take significant amount of additional investment in sales personel, training,
advertising, and lowering there add on tail charges. G* depends on their partners the same way. What
makes G* so different? Be specific, if you can't then sell.

By the way, G* has for july, 11,000,000 shares of a 50,000,000 float shorted. For every 5 float shares
there are 6 owners!!! 20% of the float!!! 9th in short position increase!!! Shorters have unlimited loss
potential while longs can only loose 100%. why bet a against the high number of shorts in this stock??
What do they know that he average gambling long doesn't?
