Small investors in COGN are easily spooked and the stock fluctuates on very small volumes.. It might still be worth posting Carl's numbers on that site..But ultimately does not really matter much since the direction will come from Nasdaq so it depends on how sophisticated investors in COGN are and how the techs in general behave....

In any case the long term impact will be non-existent. It could cause a short term dip, but in the end how the company executes will determine the stock price. I agree that right now growth is more important than profit, though making a profit is also nice because it means that you don't burn through cash. With all the upstarts around trying to take market share, COGN must hold share and grow with the segment. When the area matures, the company with the largest share will be the most profitable. Carl
