Rick, someone posted a news article about some great things in the pipeline at 3Com relating to wireless. I said it looks good for 3Com. It was my mistake to comment on 3Com here. Then you started to mischaracterize what I said and you haven't stopped. I'm not sure if you are not capable of understanding what I have said without coloring it with your own preconceptions or if you are trying to push my buttons. I will try once more to explain this one more time. I wrote "The two negative responses I received have helped confirm that investor sentiment has bottomed." You wrote "Would all the positive posts here indicate Q has topped? Bux, I don't want to sound rude, but you are using all the rationalizations in the book. The fact that some people say COMS is a lousy investment means NOTHING other than that...it is their opinion that COMS is a lousy investment." That's what investor sentiment is, their opinion! What do you find so difficult to understand here? I said that investor sentiment has bottomed, not that share prices have bottomed. In fact, I freely admitted that share prices may not have bottomed, that I tend to buy too early. And further, I said light-heartedly that those two negative opinions had helped confirm the bottom, not that I was relying on them. Do you really think I'm that stupid? Let me know when you are rational and even then, you can spare me your well-meaning but condescending advice. Bux
