Boy, it has been great making a lot of money trading this stock on up moves. Yup, the glass is half full

>>>LOL...I love shorts trying not to be obvious! Now, now. If you've read those SI-XYBR posts regarding my difficulties MARGINING this stock (again - thanks for the insights Bill F), I think you'd realize I don't have the savvy to short stocks. I'm just calling it like I see it, I hope it appears to be potentially rational. I made money on this stock during the Sony run (back when I believed everything I read), and whittled it away holding XYBRW and XYBR through puffed-up PR pieces (25,000 units in 1999, etc) and management intimidation tactics ("do the math", etc). I've been watching this stock from the sides (because I think the eventual acceptance of personal wearables is inevitable, if you can tell from my posts) since XYBR hit the threes so many moons ago. I'm waiting for some meaty news. Today was the first non-frightening re-entry point for daytrading (daytrading only - it's still too speculative for me to re-invest in) this stock, because the P.R. appeared to have some possible teeth (rare for this company). Today was also fun, because I was able to view XYBR activity from level2 for the first time - very fun, because the numbers and symbol are so familiar to me. Anyhow, you can suggest I'm short this stock, that's your prerogative. My question is: What is it I said that you disagree with? Perhaps you can enlighten me. Or perhaps you just want me to say how great everything about this company is. Hey, I see both good and not so good, but I still like the wearables concept - and I also like all the stuff this stock is teaching me. For one - in my post a week ago I was still confused over why an automobile PC couldn't easily be used as a wearable PC. Since then I've done some "imagining" and realized there are numerous parameters which suggests that automobile PCs will be totally different animals than wearable PCs. I have also since then come to recognize a personal distinction between "wearable PCs" and "personal wearables", the latter being a very specialized type of computer (not a PC) which doesn't seem to fall under the XYBR patent umbrella, but which is destined to fulfill all basic personal communication needs (refer to my three prior posts today to recognize what I feel these needs are). Spreadsheet and CAD applications are not among these needs. Neither are heaps of other PC applications. The PC geometry is not what the mass consumer market wants, but it is what XYBR is centered on. It is why XYBR is likely to be dominant in the industrial arena but not the consumer arena. JMO. Shoe.
