Robb, the fact that you don't feel you owe anyone an apology pretty much says it all. Of course, no one owes one more than cockyg. Of course you are entitled to your opinion, and welcome to it; yet having used this thread to make strong suggestions as to the nature of unrevealed "evidence," having been both misleading and wrong about the brotherhood connection, and having lambasted those who were correct on the issue, apparently now you feel the simple fact that you have your "opinion" obviates your responsibility to apologize for the false unsubstantiated speculation you put forward here with an strong eye toward convincing folks of what you did not know yourself. trader14u, what class? Admitting he was wrong was reasonable, but that's just normal expected adult behavior at best, regardless that he thinks "most" people wouldn't do it. Robb, you also said " nobody except me and a few shorters on the thread discussed anything relating to fundamentals before and after the Gilder relationship surfaced." which is a blatant lie- or you don't understand that fundamental analysis encompasses discussion such as Frank Collucio, Mr. Gilder himself, and others have been engaged in here. Get a clue to that, and apologize for this most recent false statement too, while you are at it. I would. Dan B

I stumbled on to this thread because of a cross post on another thread. I followed the Gilder soap opera for a bit then went to look at the fundamentals for this company. The operating expense is huge compared to the revenues (6-10x revs). And this is before we get to the huge interest payments. I have no position in this stock but can someone tell me how this company is supposed to make a profit. Are cost of goods supposed to flatten at some point while revenues take off.
