Keep posting garbage like that and most readers will start to discount all posts that contain "from bambs". Speaking of garbage/trash will you be sure and post every Sunday evening as a reminder for me to take out the trash.The minute I see your name will be enough to strike a memory chord.Thanks again.

Bambs, I don't consider reading articles due diligence. This is what separates me from you. I do my own investigation - reading S1's, 10K's, quarterly reports, primary analysis from Vertical, Del Oro, IDC, Forester, etc.. and listening to confernce calls but most importantly talking directly to people in the industry. You on the other hand read biased articles and spin and base your position on what I consider to be generally crap. That's right.. bullish or bearish... most of these position pieces are crap. Even more so when they suggest that one should invest in an also-ran (AAPL) in a sector that is going down (PC sector) versus the gorilla (CSCO) in a sector that is forecast to do extremely well (communications). I don't need to waste my time reading that kind of trash. If you understood the market you would do the same thing. I noticed that regarding the employee options your lack of due diligence shown through. Fortunately GV Tucker was around to bail you out. It's pretty clear who is more knowledgable about this market I think. OG
