Re: "So not only INPR makes good tools, stocks are cheap (or may even be free!) We'd even give some to MSFT lovers. So keep coming back, you hear."

When an adversary becomes an antagonist human beings tend to first lash out and try to destroy the adversity. Then reality sets in and change begins to dictate the humans forward looking estimations.

I haven't see so much discussion on this thread then a 1/2 point drop in the stock has caused. The products are not exciting, Del is not exciting. Nothing has caused the emotions and interest that the stock movement has yet some on this thread still argue that the products and Del will carry us forward.

There is only one true test a CEO must pay attention to, the approval and political acceptance of it's public partners. To continue to act as though there is nothing wrong when your approval rating keeps slipping by 3-7% daily surely is a sign that you have lost touch with reality, there is nothing more devastating for any company.

IBM learned that the hard way which is why they continue to buy back their shares to keep the investing public interested enough in coming back. They do this even in the face of competition. They do not continuously try and explain to the public that we need to have more time we are almost there we just missed new customers this quarter, only to hit them with stock dilutions in proportion to their (INPR's) announced buy back.

Now some would actually try and explain that the market situation is at fault. Ever notice how the market (brokers, MM, big investors) run the stock up of some companies just before a down turn is on the horizon so it will at least stem it's downturn in those stocks when it actually occurs. INPR will never be given this type of respect by the markets and Del seemingly don't give a hoot! He seems to be answering to a higher order some place?

The only small ray of hope that I've noticed in all this negative is the volume has not even been adverage. That shows lack of interest as oppose to negative interest which may cause manipulation.
