Bambs Bambs Bambs.. Sheesh. I've been pretty even with you so and have kept this discussion focused on investing.. so please don't attack me as irrational, twisting stories, or a pump and dumper. First my comments have been quite rational. Every company requires a different investment perspective/style based upon prospects. I rode COMS up because I knew that speculators would come in and move the stock but I also knew it wouldn't stay there because COMS wasn't executing - it was just speculation. Yes, I could have shorted on the way down too but I wasn't going to tempt fate. Fwiw I made a sweet chunk as well....no, your friends $680K doesn't impress me. Second, pump and dump? I've been in CSCO since 94 and have added on the dips. I guess I'm not doing a very good job on the dump part. :) Your IP. Actually had nothing to do with you and it was a joke anyway. You heard of jokes - right? If you go back and look we had another bear on the thread who left on Monday - his name was Stock Operator and he was claiming that CSCO was going to $45-$50. He bet some beers... well you know what happened... he hasn't come back. So coincidentally you showed up within days of his departure. I know you're not him because he was a jerk... you are not. Let's try to keep it that way. I appreciate dissenting opinions - it's OK to disagree. I don't think that means we have to fight.... or does it? Go ahead and pump your stock and feel good knowing that you will dump your shares on some poor sucking in the coming weeks Really now. You know nothing about me... I don't think it's fair to make such a statement. Most importantly - and to the point... just about everyone here has been investing in this sector for years. I look at your posting history and it appears (maybe I'm wrong) that your exposure (and Rod's too) to networking and CSCO is limited at best. So, before you suggest that CSCO is short you should complete your due diligence. Perhaps pointed to where CSCO is failing, losing market share, or where the markets they are targeting will underperform, or why the build out of the net will taper off. These would be good discussions. Ball's in your court. ;) OG
