I can't really say anymore, since the S.E.C. is closely monitoring these chat boards. If they trace some price movement to you then you can wind up in the slammer for a while. Not a favorable prospect. I have some connection with people that used to work at CMD plus I know people that are still there. Management is managing stock options to their advantage and which therefore causes all this customer data to be inside information. They do this to depress the stock near term so they can secure lower strike prices on options that will vest over four years. Since they are in it for the long haul they have little incentive to disclose material information to the shareholders. Of course, they will always leak vital data to a friendly analyst or two. Futher, if they take the risk of projecting something that does not come to pass, they can get sued personally and then may be fired. No options under this situation. So they have little incentive to be open with us shareholders. I would like to balance this equation for while, until this information becomes more widely dispersed.
