I suggest you read the exchange in context before you stick your head in the sand: Message 15242176 Message 15242256 Message 15249462 Message 15249757 One could reasonably draw the conclusion that your stock guru merely got stuck on the wrong side of the trade and was trying his best to "support" the stock so he could sell at a higher price. I merely raised some questions/issues about investing right away in AVNX at this stage of their life cycle against a tenuous telco/CAPEX environment in light of the overall Nasdaq and AVNX's high valuation .Ahhaha was trying to make a forceful and bullish case to buy AVNX immediately when the stock was trading at $60-70. As a matter of fact , his point about a mgmt changing of the guard was no different than KO or PEP was totally laughable. A senior mgmt change at a Fortune 500 multibillion dollar company competing in a mature market is NOT the same as a senior mgmt change at a start-up company in a burgeoning market. Since Ahahaha seemed so convinced of his own arguments, I merely asked him if he was buying or at what price he was prepared to buy to which he responded like a child throwing a tantrum as follows: K Lee excerpt from SI: "I am not saying that AVNX is or will be a failure. I am saying the Jury is still out. The Market will decide where the short term prices want to take AVNX in light of lack of visibility and probable negative market psychology exacerbated by the cautionary statements/warnings made by JDSU and PMCS ( and GLW yesterday ). I am willing to sit on the sidelines and wait to buy AVNX below 60, maybe even below 50. You confidently make a bullish case for "not waiting" to buy AVNX. Did YOU buy today or are YOU buying tomorrow? " Ahhaha response on SI: " I don't know what all the BRCD BS is about, but none of that sort of blab is worth two cents in the real world. You sound like a journalist. None of the comments you made about BRCD or AVNX can lead to money making decisions. I don't like people telling me what sort of position I have. If I wanted Yahoo level interaction, I'd go there. This is my last post here. " You will find that all the financial media like CNBC are now asking their analyst guests if they have any investment banking relationships with the companies they are flogging and they are also asking the fund managers if they have a long or short position in Company XYZ that they are recommending. Why was Ahahaha so defensive? The defensiveness in avoiding answering of such a harmless question reminds of the Tokyo Joe shenanigans and other pump and dumpers one finds in the InterNUT Boiler Rooms. Sounds like a hidden agenda to me. In retrospect, if one was convinced by Ahahaha's case supported by his "facts" to buy AVNX at $60-70, today one would be sitting on a 60-70% loss in just over 1 month. Great call.
