Hey Max..since you are new to INPR, I'll cut you some slack. What most of us long term INPR investors have come to know is that the company, its products and its innovation is why we own the stock. The history of its management, timing and execution justifies any perceived ill feelings. If Dell Yocam was still around, this run-up in price might convince him its time to rename the company Webvolution or something of the sort. Just because we have some skepticism on this board doesn't mean we aren't enjoying the recent run-up in price. If anyone understands that this company is undervalued, its the guys who were holding this stock when it was trading for less than book value...

why don't you sell if you actually grow bitter about a stock??

You totally misunderstand -- I continue to believe in this company as I have over the last 10 years. I've held the stock on and off during this period and generally done well on it. Several of us here have followed the stock closely for a long time. Unlike so many these days, I don't buy & sell on a whim. When I've come to know a stock, I have an investment not only in $$$, but in time.

There has never been a question in my mind INPR would come back, so why sell? In fact, most of what I'm long on INPR right now I bought recently when it was < 3. But I do feel there were a lot of mistakes made by the former management. Bitter? Nahh...it's only money...

The last time it hit 12, 2 years ago, I was holding call options with a strike of 10. The big news of the VSGN announcement resulted in those calls expiring worthless. It's only money...

IT IS a winner, though -- and I fully expect to recoup my earlier losses & more over the coming months.
