fundamentals and product aside, webx just sounds new-economyish enough to attract a ton of shorts on the basis of the ticker symbol alone. anything "web" or "e" something is a candidate for the pile-on short it to zero crowd.

Are you certain that the positive cash flow that you see will get WEBX where it needs to go? Where does it need to go? Are you sure that your fundamental analysis of the financials isn't missing something? If I have missed something, I'm sure someone will point it out. I have it plotted out on a spread sheet for the last 12 quarters. As long as I've been following them they've had an almost flawless execution but you never know what will happen in the future. I've seen more than one growth company go sour in one quarter. If everything were known about the company and certain then there wouldn't be any money to be made buying or shorting the stock. It would be fully valued today. Some awfully smart people missed some pretty big flaws in the fundamental situation of several companies that went they went long on and then the company subsequently went BK. Yeah, well when you have companies making up revenue numbers or turning expenses into capital improvements and putting liabilities in off shore dummy corps, with accountants signing off on the financials....anyone can get taken to the cleaners. This is why I avoid big companies for the most part. It's easier to read small companies, not as many footnotes or exotic line items that make you go "WTF is that"?
