The thing that really bugs me about Ariba...Is Krack had the nerve to stand up there and say it was ebay on steroids...while he was selling stock by the boatload...

I'll get over it....

NOW they admit they didn't even have a product...anybody with a couple semesters in programming could have shot holes in the nonsense...

">>I paid over $100 per share and sold at $12 per share.<<
LOL! you must have bought it just after Billy began promoting it.
Yup, Ariba another Billy core monster.;) "

I hold no ill will as you know for my poor investment. One thing that does irk me is Bill's continued comments "This is the Stock Market, nothing more and nothing less."

The Ariba insiders cashed out billions and the firm has never turned a profit. The Amazon insiders have done the same and this goes for a lot of firms. I truly believe there is a place for ethics in the stock market. Bill apparently does not.

I really wonder what many of these insiders think of themselves when they are spending their millions and billions while many people can barely afford to eat. The next step up is many cannot afford to retire, etc. Much of this due to the recent bubble.

I am still hung up on Bezos. There was a lot of rhetoric about the risks Bezos took by starting Amazon. The line given here was he left a very lucrative job with DE Shaw to start a firm where he may not make any money. DE Shaw stuck a bank for $1.5 billion dollars 18 months after Bezos left. He did not see that coming? There had to be huge lossses already. It is all bull.
