Jain goes on CNBC last night and calls analysts "lemmings"? What page of the IR book was that on? Especially when these same analysts are catching hell from their retail side brokers whose clients have taken a bath in INSP stock. The last thing management should want to do is give them reason to just write their investment off and move on. But figure the odds of Jain letting Russell take on the roll of INSP "face man". What really bothers me though is Jain's propensity to try to mimic his old bosses competitive arrogance. I think a lot of investors are turned off by someone that invites trouble by being so open about "crushing the competition". The last thing we want to do is create another business tyrant like Bill Gates (but having a similar market cap would be nice). That really bugs me and someone should stuff a sock in his mouth before he does it again. The last thing we want is the perception that INSP management has lost any credibility it may have had.
