For the unsure, FBNA is a make believe thread, that folks joined to create a fictional company, to haggle about Y2K.
They may not have the money or opp to actually do their own real business, but it let's them have fun doing it, kinda like DOOM.
They are highly informed and educated, allowing them to quickly point out the faults of any emerging company. This is why they keep hammering away at PINC.
Typical questions:
How can you trust management? You have to trust someone, don't you? Maybe the numbers are not public for PINC, but if you cannot trust management, be it LU or KO, then don't buy.
What about AOL? or It's and uphill battle? or Where's the money? Who cares really? As long as they gain market share, things will be nice. Look for magazine articles over the next few months on PINC, and more news releases.
I find Josef amusing, kinda fun to interact. But, the latest round of FBNers and recent posters bring lots of negativity here, you know bad karma or vibes (Kelley's Heroes). It is not that they will ever sway me from PINC, just that I think they are trying to influence the weak hands.
My thoughts: buy more PINC. Use low priority cash, and hunker down.

I hope I have more time for them in the future, you'll see what I mean. |
