Relax folks, David Rocker is just shorting the stock which is what they do. Ancor's product is neither a failure nor are they stuffing the channel. Ancor's valuation may appear insane, however, in comparison to other FC players could well be the most reasonable given it's very bullish near term prospects! At some point BRCD will correct and Rocker will probably have a field day with them as well.

When one who has the power to move a market does so without having grounds for his actions and he directly or beneficially realizes financial gain I think it is illegal. If I'm wrong please correct me. As I read it the article is at best questionable. All that I'm asking is: Is anyone questioning it?. Is it wrong or even unusual to ship a product if the public as a whole is unaware of it? If a company with no or very little sales increases the sales significantly, is it unusual for their receivables to increase significantly? e.g. I ship 1.2 million two weeks before Qend. My terms are net 30days. Doesn't it make sense that I might have 1.2mil. in receivables at Qend? I think so. Is it a coincidence that a short seller gives an interview, moaning about the price of a stock going up and insinuating that the company is manipulating and an article bad mouthing that company without what appears to be cause shows up at the same time? I'm not upset about the negativity. I'm wondering if anyone is checking to be sure that it isn't more than a coincidence. Stranger things have happened before.
