Gee, if an analyst said so it must be true, right, objective and always done in my best interest, right? We just live in the best of all possible worlds......

Andrew, this is another case of IDTC longs granting credibility based on what they want to hear. Why is it that the obvious conflict of interest on BTAB's part is not even questioned once, when you guys are willing to stretch to any length, or even make things up to find a conflict on Herb's part?

From Bull-Market.com report COMMENT: There has been some negative press on IDT Corp. (IDTC) lately and we have discovered that it is Herb Greenberg, a writer for the San Francisco Chronicle and TheStreet.com (TSCM). Here are the titles of his articles that were printed last week: "Has IDT Been Making Loans to a Company That Doesn't Technically Exist?" and "Is Culture as Important as Fundamentals at IDT?" We do not want to take much time on this because we think it is mostly hogwash. Greenberg had a column to write and he decided to write two of them and pick on this company. This firm is doing VERY WELL, thank you. We have a daughter in Paris this month and we are calling her for 12 cents a minute, using IDT's services. We haven't seen anybody better. So there. We liked them at $28 and we like them even more at $22 (up 10% on Friday.) Look at their revenues - they are growing like a weed. Greenberg's fabrications about insider shenanigans are not very disturbing when you get to the bottom of it, just upsetting for the short term and sensationalistic. Fundamentally, they should have no bearing on the future success of the company.
