Interestingly, the only two positions that continue to be mentioned are: 1. The company will do great and the shorts are uninformed, or 2. The company is a dog and the longs are naive. Without further discussion on the validity of either of the above, what about: 3. The company might do great or it might be a dog. Regardless, the objective of participating in the stock market is to make money. The money has gone to the longs in a big way lately; you could have bought Zi for less than a dollar a share in the past year. Just because someone is long or short doesn't necessarily mean that they are 100% convinced that the company's business execution will be flawless (is that ever the case?). But why fight the prevailing trend? No one will argue that Zi is a speculative investment at this point. But what's wrong with that? A little spice in the portfolio is fun. And in the case of Zi, the return has been excellent so far. .........VVVVVVVVVVVVVV (long)

Let's get this straight. I'm a "mark for this scam" because I'm critical of the tone and lack of substance of your remarks? Really? Let's review a post I sent TO YOU a few weeks ago: To: Dr. Seuss This is a response to a deleted message From: Diogeron Wednesday, Dec 1, 1999 1:36 PM ET Reply # of 1857 I sold 500 yesterday at 15 and 1500 today at 13 but not because of anything you said. I'm just taking the spectacular profits I made by being long on this stock all the time you have been advising people to short it. Who knows whether or not that was a good decision on my part. Time will tell. I'm going to continue monitoring this stock and may, in fact, likely will jump back in at some point. I may pay much more than I did before, but my profits from my purchases at 2, 4, and 7 or so give me a bit of flexibility. Best of luck to all longs. Hope you make a fortune. I made over $20 grand on ZICA since the summer. Well, I've got to run. Got to find another "scam" because you know how we easy "marks" are! BTW, I took the money and bought Dell at 40, FWIW.
