Does Herb Greenberg short IDTC, lets See: by: <Picture: Sorry, I'm not available> hawaii60 847 of 847Did anyone happen to notice the clever wording of Herb Greenbergs disclaimer? He does not own any position in any individual stocks. He completely forgets to mention if he might possibly have a position in a short fund. Or if anyone he works for does. Or is he is a paid cunsultant in any other way to such a fund. How about it Mr. Greenberg? Lets have FULL disclosure. <TSC's mid-day report,and Herb is by: <Picture: Sorry, I'm not available> kens60 <91362 of 91425MAD.... Outta control This column's Hostile React-O-Meter has never spun this much out of control. (Of course, the posting of my email address by some IDT-iot added to the fury.) Historically, the faster the react-o-meter spins and the greater the attempt at intimidation, the more cultish a company's following and the more something is amiss. Will that be the case this time? Hard to say, but you gotta see what some of these IDT-iots -- most of whom apparently have never read this column -- are saying. A real eye-opener. Some of my favorites (not to mention the ones posted on the site Thursday) include this one, from Harry Kranick, who writes: "I hope you sleep well tonight, knowing that you have destroyed my children's education fund. I will not forget this!" >From Avi Gross: "You certainly picked on the wrong target and made many enemies. I pity you." And from John Toth: "I hope the f**n SEC fries your short a. No articles on IDT for six months, then two weeks before the IPO -- this s**t. How come no reputable news agency went along with this? How much were you paid to do this?" Al Diesz adds: "Without a doubt you are a scuzzwad and I now understand why Cramer encourages you to wear that coat of slime when he picks a company to crucify! Water always seeks its own level and now I understand your association with 'yellow journalism.' By the way, I hope you get your 'more attractive' end burned shorting." But my favorite is from Sukhu George, who writes: "You are a SOB and I hope you go to hell for your short interest in a company and trying to bring it down by playing dirty tricks. I will be praying very hard that bad things will happen to you. Bad karma is very bad." Thanks, I'll remember that. And I'll say it again, for the umpteenth time. I don't hold positions in individual stocks, other than that of TheStreet.com Inc. (TSCM:Nasdaq), publisher of this Web site. Which means derogatory statements to the contrary reek of libel. Suit yourself. Herb Greenberg writes daily for TheStreet.com. In keeping with TSC's editorial policy, he doesn't own or short individual stocks, though he owns stock in TheStreet.com. He also doesn't invest in hedge funds or other private investment partnerships. He welcomes your feedback at herb@thestreet.com. Greenberg also writes a monthly column for Fortune. >
