I think maybe an SEC look at this stock's action the last few months, including the spin of the players here on this thread (among other SI threads, which I understand are underway), would be a good thing.

Charles,

Trying to induce positive spin on the dismal performance of Inprise -- and by extension its management -- only makes you look foolish. Perhaps it's more than a look, however, it's bad form to make sweeping judgements about a person based on a few silly remarks.

Your suggestion that the SEC look into the spin surrounding INPR reveals an almost comical display of ignorance regarding the performance of this company versus the action of the stock. It's also absurd to suggest that private investors have some sort of extra-constitutional limits on expression. Your foolish comments have a decidedly desperate flavor so I take it you made yet another bad move on the long side; that's your problem, deal with it and stop trying to blame somebody else.

As for investigations, of course the SEC is always looking out for brokers and other securities professionals violating securities laws -- obviously they operate under specific agreements that don't apply to you and me. Is there something new about that? I certainly support it and I would hasten to add that these investigations are BY FAR aimed at those who are PUMPING stocks to cash in on the long side. I can honestly say that if there's one stock whose price honestly reflects business reality it's INPR. Stop wasting your feeble barks here Charles, you're just making yourself look stupid.
