When do they announce next earnings ? Do you get the impression that those earnings will have a lot to say regarding the future price of their stock ? Thanks

i've found the whining on this thread to be an accurate depiction of how this stock has disappointed so many for so long. and besides, where does the contrarian indicator wheel stop? (the whining is bullish but then contrarians interpret that as bearish...) btw, really slugging it out at 26. :) mark

Dear Bruce,trust me I am not whining a single bit I expect to make some money on our beloved 3com.I just bought about 4 weeks ago.I always wait for Sir Eric the git to mess up and I buy this stock. I feel bad for the newbies to this stock who buy this gits story at high prices only to watch their hard earned dwindle until they can't take it anymore and sell to people like me.I have been following The git since the glory days of us robotics,presstek,iomega and centennial tech--------don't forget good ole shiva---------which by the way was at 90 once and I think intel bought them for like 7.Oh ya don't forget good ole cascade communications too.You see the git has outlasted them all or should I say 3com has outlasted them all.Unfortunately if you do a little research I think you will find The git gets the price to rise on the old its too big to fail approach and he gets everyone all excited and the stock has 50% appreciation and then theGit speaks and the freaking thing comes all the way back.The git has been doing it for years-------he's sorta like a carnival barker at the freak show----he pumps you up and once your in----its kinda disappointing.It is all in the hype.I love The Git my self-------he has made money for me over the years and if you are smart and next time he gets us up around forty sell your shares and then wait for the Git to speak and you can buy em back somewhere in the twenties.I am not whining I am delighting in the fact that this Git can do this time and time again.He is one brazen Git in that he does this over and over with a straight face and still sells those damn tickets to same damn freak show with the same damn fat lady with a beard and her husband the human yo-yo.We got one helluva Git on our side.I sleep well with that information tucked under my pillow.For your own info call IR and ask them how many class action suits ahve been filed against them over the last ten years ask for the dates and then correlate them to the stock price and I think you will get a clear picture.We got the best freaking Git in the valley.
