I guess you must be ranting to your self or did you just wake up on the wrong side of the bed? You write "What really bothers me is that people blame management, and the MM's and daytraders, and momo's for their own lack of foresight." People discuss management because it is germaine to what is going on. I really haven't seen people blaming MM, daytraders and momo. As too lack of foresight, the long termers on this board with cost basis in the low teens and even single digits have foresight in spades my friend, a lot more of it than you who just stumbles in the door today. You seem to be confusing the QWST thread with some of your other hangouts on SI I guess. You write "Investors like the people on this board are the same people who bid the price up prematurely without proper DD and financial analysis...fundamentals actually DO make a difference." The core group on this thread did its due diligence and did it well. You don't know what you are talking about. Do your really believe it was the people on this thread that all by themselves caused the QWST stock price to rise. Timing is everything they say. How do you account for MSFT buying into QWST at $22.50 in December 98? How do you account for BLS taking a 10% stake in QWST. What about CSCO's investment. Leaving us "people on the board aside", do you know more than the CFO's at MSFT, CSCO and BLS oh great one? As to your fiber comments, why don't you tell us all how many dark fiber strands QWST has in reserve? You seem to think QWST has no remaining fiber...YOU ARE WRONG. What is more expensive? laying the fiber or lighting the fiber? What if the trenches are already dug and conduits in place? If you are going to sit on high and judge "the people" on this thread you better know what you are talking about. On behalf of "all the whiners on this board..." Regards
