"Don't believe everything you read." "Do your own homework." "Let the buyer beware." We've heard these all before & anyone who bought shares simply b/c of a few inaccurate posts is naive, lazy & @ fault. I'm a seasoned tech investor & I must admit that I'm upset b/c I relied on Anaxogoras' incorrect info as a factor in making an investment decision (actually multiple ones). I didn't check the info myself. If I knew then what I know now, I would have waited until yesterday or today to buy, to assess the situation after the lock-up period expired. I prob. would have either kept the $ on the sidelines or bought EXDS, which did pretty well today. Obviously I can't travel back in time. What has transpired on this board is to be expected. I harbor no ill will towards Anaxagoras, but emplore him & others to appreciate the seriousness of this type of potential prob. People are reading this info. & taking it as true. If you have an opinion -- fine -- voice it. But if you hold yourself out as a purveyor of fact & end up being wrong, your credibility on this board & SI will inexorably be tarnished. No doubt. Apologies are appreciated, but unless the damage that error contributed to can be reversed, a bitter taste will remain. Let's just hope the damn stock bottomed today. It did hold @ important support levels.
