>>Jacobs sounds like a yahoo message board hypester, but with enough obfuscation and talk of conspiracies to lure in the average gambler.<< ODB - Perhaps you'd like to comment on Jacob's statement that CNC is worth over 18 bucks a share based on 5.7b in assets? I mean, speaking of hype, I haven't seen anything but personal attacks on Jacobs in response to that post. Nothing of any substance whatsoever. I'm bringing this up because the shorts on this thread hold themselves up to be dispassionate intelligent analysts, yet they mostly, including and especially the much-revered Pinky, rely on insults and ridicule of the longs. As I've stated before, I don't have a position in CNC, and I don't claim to know whether or not the company can pull itself out of the financial bog it is in. I just find, on balance, that there is no more credibility in the shorts' posts here than there is in the longs'. - Allen
