Never admit you are wrong! Just try and change the subject onto a new subject. Or as Dwight did, just claim victory and say "This is my last post"! Almost all the "facts" that you posted about Iridium were Wrong! So now it's... my friends told me it didn't work. Again, the US Military used it everyday, and were unhappy to see it go. Better to use Iridium's largest customer to gage system performance and service than that of "A friend of Bob's" Nothing personal! I am sure your friends are real nice folks. Notice the other day when I was Wrong about the order of the Partner Financing and the Bear S. deal.. I admitted that I was Wrong.. (You can tell when I make a mistake, because RS is there to jump on any inaccuracy).. Just like the good ole' days. I probably wouldn't make a good politician! Because they never admit they are wrong either! However, in you defense you did change your stance to. . . . . <snip> to make commentary on something (my I* opinion admittedly derived from close friends who had the phones, should be 95% as good as first hand IMHO) <snip> So now it's your OPINION!! OK, everyone is entitled to an opinion, but I prefer to stick to FACTS.. It just keeps things clearer in my mind As far as shorting G* goes.. The last time I attempted to get shares to short was three or four months ago when it peaked up to 15 - 15 1/2 for a couple of days. But with another 10 million shares going into the float.. It may soon be available. Not that I am interested at these levels.. More interested in picking up some long position in the $6 dollar range.. With another 10 weeks of selling, I wouldn't be surprised if the opportunity does not present itself.. PCSTEL
