When picvue, Hanspring and others have positive forward looking "visibility" and are gearing up for major NEW sales of NEW inventory shipments, this means that there is real visibility out there that the Bear market is coming to a fast end. Picvue making and selling more LCD and related screens for PALM and PALM-like devices means that out of public view, these companies are picking up SALES ORDERS beyond their current INVENTORY economies of scale. I predict, PALM will sell out ALL its inventory before Christmas. The CEO and CFO that don't look, are NOT following SEC regs (like Reg. FD "full disclosure"), imho, they are taking the easy road out and in TRUTH are making NO DISCLOSURE: SEE NO EVIL HEAR NO EVIL SAY NO EVIL, only for them its: SEEN NO GOOD HEAR NO GOOD SAY NO GOOD, which is the same thing, either three BLIND MICE or three BLIND MONKEYS, they need to get their head out of Alan Greenspan's doublespeak or out from between their legs where they have placed their tails and their heads, and take a LOOK AROUND, you can't see if you don't look, and no one is as blind as Mr. Y who is as Blind as those who will not see.....LOOKING is the best way to SEE. Thank God, PALMs, the product line sells itself, and is dominating every market PALM enters....so far. The only problem here is that PALM still has derrier kissing management, which is what you want if and when you were 3COM, its prior owner, but followers do not make good leaders, and PALM needs leaders not followers at the helm. I am still a buyer and holder of PALM all the way up, for at least the next 5 to 10 years of this revolution and build out, but not due to the management, but due to PALM the products, and knowing that eventually management will be shook out, and even if they are not, the economy will recover, and then even blind mice will be able see PALM's very bullish bright future.
