I guess I don't understand your conclusion. You wrote, "You know nothing about this stock, the industry, or from what I see, investing or trading in general." When I first posted anything less than positive (I think I suggested the stock would decline), the stock was at $4.50. It is now at $4 3/16. Anything can happen in the future but a purchase anytime in the recent past would have to be seen as a mistake. Please tell me about how smart you are by having purchased Metricom stock! And where is the short squeeze that you predicted? Now I am the one laughing. Seriously, I hope you don't get hurt too badly. Good luck with your investments.

ruff...good posts! A lot of longs have NOT lost money as some claim because if they are like me I still own my shares and won't sell to panic. Those that make money pick up good stocks/companies while the price is down. IMO there are a lot of people buying into this selling quietly adding to their long position. Those that panic and sell are not true longs. Sprint does not offer or promise "full" data/video. They want the market that sells by the minute and "fits" on a cell phone display....this is not true mobile wireless "internet". The future is what you have at home (desktop) in a mobile wireless model. All non-believers should go back and read PA's wired world vision. It ties in with his other investments, Chtr, transmeta, HSAC, etc. As far as funding do the non-believers think that William Savoy, PA's chief moneyman is on MCOM's board for "fluff"? PA will not let this one go away....He wants it all.... This ride is not for the faint of heart. But will be worth the wait. Take a look at Charter Comm. It too has been spending big and is slowly and firmly rising against all the naysayers...why? PA wants it and can afford it. Money Talks! Don't be concerned with those that have no position. Talk is cheap. I'm actually enjoying picking up more and more MCOM as I know other astute investors are too. Good luck to you. Ken
