I didn't say COMS blows.. but perhaps some the posts do and to those I respond.

Anyway, I was here originally for speculative reasons - for takeover bait. Now I'm hearing rumors of a restructure which could be very beneficial to the stock valuation.. so I'll take that and put it in the bank.

COMS needs to do something. They've lost the NIC's, they've lost the networking space and yet they hang on instead of focusing all their resources on successful businesses. Kyros could be right.. this PALM thing may get more traction than I previously thought. But as I said before - sitting here doing nothing (which is what they've been doing) is not creating value and so, doing nothing blows.

My points have been and continue to be that COMS should either sell the company, restructure and spin-off/sell some businesses, alter the board, fire Eric,...just about anything and this stock will move. Unfortuately they've done nothing.. And doing nothing blows - especially in this market.

So, why am I here. COMS currently does blow..but I'm betting that they do something. In the meantime there is little downside risk since they've blown so badly <vbg>
