"Go back, read the posts, then look at the price charts. You cannot be following the price of NSCP or MSFT if you think that I am wrong." As much as I value your stand in the face of these NSCP groupies, I wish you won't be so tied to your "ever since I started posting to SI" chart version. Try a 60-week chart, like I did, since around the IPO: I got NSCP up 74%, MSFT up 58%. A long term investor will look at these graphs and think both of these companies are great bets, assuming the overall trends continue. And with all the camelbacks on NSCP's chart it has proven quite a feeding ground for smart (and lucky!) short-term investors. The more useful argument is to anticipate a change in these overall trends. As an example, a huge firm conviction on the street that NSCP's longterm future is not what everyone thought it was would generate a massive correction and send the NSCP stock off of this overall trend. Will this happen? If so, when? What would do it? The other factor to keep in mind is that NSCP is one of these few companies that seems to be the exception to the usual rules.
