A couple of other historical items of interest for anyone interested in the record - take a look through the posts if interested.

1) One of the fundamental underpinnings of the sell short thesis before Firmage left was that the company was a financial roll up play and a 28 year old hypester would be unable to integrate and operate it. what happened ? 28 year old hypester gone / short thesis blows up / time to move on.

2) You might also remember that I was very puzzled and critical about the idea of changing the company name to Reinvent. what happened ? company backtracked and didn't change the name.

Sorry to spoil your mindless bickering with facts taken in context and based on the record.

Rick.

P.S. I haven't heard any responses about why we should expect that the continuous heavy insider selling since the IPO should abate. Perhaps a few of our more vocal posters have a few insider shares they'd like to unload on an all too excited and believing public.

Whenever a two-bit stock broker uses the term "no-brainer", watch your wallet.
