<<It seems that they were all too anxious to get out the news and PR while the stock was going up. Now that it has lost about 48% of it's value, you haven't heard a whimper. If nothing else, this leads one to believe that when the "s**t hits the fan" at earnings time, it isn't going to be pretty.>>>
Shamuke -- I mean this in the nicest way, but do you think things through before you post them, or do you just post? I won't even deal directly with your implication that Ancor somehow was pumping up their stock -- an accusation, by the way, that borders on illegal. Anyway. . .
All too anxious to get out "the news and PR"? Go back and review last year. There were HUGE gaps in between releases. In fact, I recall arguments here and on the Yahoo board about how Ancor management needed to be more active in releasing news, etc. Right now, the company is in quiet period, for starters, so that could explain why you haven't "heard a whimper." Also, as Ancor has explained many times, oftentimes it is their partner(s) who dictate when news can be announced. Anyway, I don't find the gap since last news troubling (though, as always, I'm happy to hear news).
As to your instant conclusion that earnings will be ugly, I must ask if you've already forgotten many of the other gutwrenching falls in Ancor stock in the past? Quite often, they've amounted to nothing, as you know. The stock rose 1600% last year. A break is not out of the question, much as it hurts. Anyway, I ask you -- instead of jumping to a pessimistic, chicken-little-esque conclusion and posting here, have you done ANYTHING proactive like call management, talk to other industry sources, or even call the analysts following the stock?
all imo,
