You sold and now you are not too sure you should have.

Not so. I have no question. I have NEVER referred to INPR INVESTORS as idiots. But I did refer to those numbskulls who bought INPR as a result of this ridiculous hype as idiots (these are not INVESTORS, they are SPECULATORS and are, for the most part, doing a damned poor job of it).

I am certainly aware of each of "facts" you have cited, having been long in INPR off and on for some ten years. And if I were long now, I wouldn't feel badly about it. HOWEVER, I do not anticipate substantial growth in the stock before the 2nd quarter of next year.

If you have nothing to contribute apart from the usual bragging I suggest you join the group on Yahoo.

I don't know which "bragging" you are referring to, but a review of my posts here over the last few years will reveal little in the way of "bragging". In fact, I'd venture to guess that most of us here who have been long BORL for any period of time have very little to brag about with respect to this stock. In case you haven't noticed, it hasn't exactly been the best place to have your money.

There are a lot of people mascarading as "Investors" who really haven't experienced the trials of true investing. ANYONE can make money in a market like we've seen the last few years -- and anyone who hasn't probably would be better off in Vegas. The gifted are those who can make money when the market heads South -- which it will, one day.

I have, over the years, been a big supporter of INPR, and continue to do so. I believe they are exceptionally well-positioned at this time. My software business uses Borland tools almost exclusively (talk about a vote of confidence!). But when you see a stock run up overnight the way this one did, it has to make you question why.

I assume from your tone of voice you bought CORL at the 40?
