hmmm..

Why the hell is CMGI one of your favorite stocks? Trading at a P/S of 19.9 Let's not try to calculate what they had at 163.50 Oh, wait..i bet you were trying to scare INSP shareholders into believing INSP is extremely overvalued. In that case, i'll compare them to other wireless stocks to get a feel exactly how expensive they are. E-trade passes with a PS of 4.3 but the chart looks like crap. Happens. Hate losers, but i guess your holding for the long term and i guess EGRP should do fine. Oppss..better sell Sun. They have a P/S of 12.35 I'll bet Intel goes over your limit too, while MSFT might be under 10, however, MSFT posted like 1% revenue growth YoY. They probably deserve a P/S of 1 or 2 and a P/E of 10. Sell em. I would like to point one thing out.. Two of the first stocks i ever bought were Aol and Amazon. Probably just beginners luck, nevertheless, they both had over a 25 P/S ratio when i bought them. But guess what...I made over 400% on each! So, please. Stop spreading FUD.

I think we all know that. Which company is? Your post contained no information. It was pure opinion. I think it's clear Spytrdr just wants to spread FUD. company ; P/S ____________________ phone.com ; 101 AETHER ; 224 INSP ; 89.1 Yahoo ; 81.9 ebay ; 48.2 Amazon ; 5.9 Hey, Amazon is under 10!! Your kind of stock. FUD = Fear, Uncertainty, Doubt Once again, i would like to hear real reasons why INSP is crap other than Spytrdr's FUD. Basically, he says not to invest in INSP, b/c Naveen Jain was comparing INSP to MSFT. Your not suppost to take him literally.
