Penny stock releases...
AVNT releases are not releases one typically expects from reputable companies, instead they have the flavor of hype, one reads in the penny stock releases.
Look at the second release posted for example, (it was the only one reviewed for this note):
"This leading electronics giant has adopted Avant!'s Aquarius place and route design software as its standard for deep-submicron (DSM) IC designs. This company is a long time user of Avant!'s tools.
``We are pleased that Avant!'s tools have been selected by a world-class electronics company to speed up the time to market of their ASIC designs,'' said Gerald C. Hsu, chairman, president and CEO of Avant! Corporation. ``This major order confirms Avant!'s market momentum worldwide. This also confirms customers' confidence in our long-term business stability, technology directions, product offering, and customer support."
Start with this leading electronics giant. Not just a good solid company, but an unnamed GIANT, WORLD CLASS, COLOSSAL, BIGGER THAN ANYONE ELSE, THE BEST OF THE BEST,..., this approach and illustration is penny stock hype.
Then it is always important to take your eye off the ball and during a release pertaining to sales, go off course and dump on Cadence. If their sales and reputation are not being affected as they have stressed, why include the dump? Anyone that has completed marketing 101 knows the answer to that simple question. It is also bad business to reflect too much of the CEO's personal battle in a corporate release. IF he wants to say something, do so seperately. |
