I can't take it anymore......!

>>>But this is no correction. This ~30% crash after an unheard of earnings blowout is the result of a coordinated effort by Intel and other competition (like they should)and a lack of effort (like they shouldn't) by 3DFX. Add a little stock market realities/manipulation and here we are<<<

On what FACTS or analysis of FACT do you base the above and your previous statement upon management? Please, I would be greatly appreciative if you were to enlighten me to the information supporting your statements to which I am not aware of. Am I missing something?

Yes, blame it on a management that has taken a company from concept to dominant player in their field, created a standard in that field and engineered a ten-fold increase in earnings for that company and I might add managed to slap their logo on half the games out.

Yes, they are the blame because you have a loss. Ask yourself, have YOU done everything you could to make your speculation profitable. Are you even aware of the things you could do. Ask yourself, given the above has management done everything it could to turn their company into a success? Its a fact that 3DFX is a success.

I must ask, can you name the top five managers of this company? Do you know the background of just the top two (the Chairman and CEO).

Look not to management, but to yourself. Is it management's responsibility to turn your speculation into profits or is it your own. Management's responsibility its to its investors and investors are not speculators. If you have a speculative loss, then turn it into an investment and begin your homework.

Suggested reading, pertaining particularly to 3DFX' position in this market,

(I don't recall the exact title), Graham and Dodd (authors).

Who the heck am I??? No one! Just a worm facinated by the G_ds above and the worms that surround me. Please take all this in the spirited jest and helpful nature of which I truly intend.

Coltrane, playing to the rythms only he can hear.
