No "ad hominems" Katherine, We are not speaking of internets here Katherine----Internets have "no earnings"-----I am not concerned with your selling or holding the stock, my concern is with you attempt to influence others to sell the stock. As for "getting a life" I notice you have time to answer me----why if your life is so complete??? Does that mean: "you have no life?" No, I just don't like people trying to "scare" others who may not have had as much experience with Tellabs --- a company with VERY GOOD EARNINGS --- unlike your internets katherine. And I don't like statements like :"In short, every analyst on the planet loves TLAB. Sounds like time to sell to me!! I take such statements to people very upsetting---especially novices in the market. I wouldn't have been in the internets Katherine but then, perhaps risk is of no concern to you; but if it isn't, why are you so adamant about knowing when to sell. As for your "ad hominems" about my manhood---it is quite intact. Would that your need to seem "able to time the market" were as solidly based as my virility. I take it personally when anyone attempts, without substantiation to making "alarming statements" based on their "gut" feelings. To me it is akin to shouting: "Fire" in a filled movie theatre. It is irresponsible and alarmist and may actually have impacted some people here to sell their positions, people much less assured of their position than I or ruthprestb. Hopefully that is not the case; hopefully no one was alarmed into selling their stock. If it is, then you owe them an apology for "alarming them without due cause or proper reason"----some people may even consider it an action with which there might be some liability connected. In fact, perhaps you might have seen the news this morning in which many corporations such as Cisco Systems are suing individuals in these chatrooms precisely for making the untrue or unfounded alrmist remarks in the nature of the one you made. So I am actually helping you, to make sure that in the future you KNOW of what you speak and don't open yourself up to a liability lawsuit from a corporation like Cisco which allegedly is pursuing this matter with force. And keep in mind, just as in the Pairgain case, the offender alarmed the people with a "false report"-----and is subsequently being prosecuted criminally. Yours wasn't false--- just "feelings" but one never knows if someone who sold and incurred a real "loss" due to your alarmist remarks, might just test the liability of your statements, especially if they lost a lot of money because of your comments. And if that occurs, don't doubt for one minute that your ISP would cooperate with the SEC to provide you to the courts.
