<<He also said just a few months back that he'd never stoop so low to fancy accounting magic like tracking stocks... liar liar pants on fire! Say "Hello" to Mr. NoCredibility. If he weren't daytrading away on other garbage stocks he wouldn't have been forced to dump more WCOM share supply in a market where there was anemic demand. Poor Bernie feels MY PAIN???! NOT! IMO HE CAUSED MY PAIN!!>>

Desperate men do desperate things like buying stock in his own company on margin even though he probably knew more bad news were coming. I call that stupidity.
One thing is for sure, Ebbers is no longer overrated. By now everyone (I hope) knows he is just another average overpaid CEO.
So he apologizes for screwing up. Forbes told him that much 2 years ago, he should have listened to them and maybe he and those who decided to hold this stock would not be suffering as he suggested.
I still have the few shares that I bought at 25 3/8 a couple of weeks ago. I will hold and forget about them as I do not own enough shares to make a difference. Who knows maybe a few years from now wcom will go back to the the mid 20's, if Ebbers does not manage to drive the price down even more that is.
