We'll see who's right in the >> next month or two. I didn't say I believed anything - your post just wasn't particularly newsworthy given the info was dated, and already well publicized. It doesn't matter whether it was posted on SI or not, because the content of that article has been repeated numerous times. It would be cool to see fresh research and insight, such as some of the recent articles others have pointed to. 3com has inventory problems - it's pretty damn clear at this point. Since you're representing the shorts (always welcome in a balanced investment discussion), it would be cool to have some recent news which verifies the severity of 3com's problems. Heck, we may have that as soon as tomorrow should 3com decide to pre-announce. Who is right and who is wrong are not worth debating. It could be that you're dead on with 3com's problems, but the stock goes to the moon despite these challenges. As I point out in my post, I hope the company decides to take a big hit resulting in a stock plunge because I think it will help out long term. If it does, does that mean I'm wrong because I happen to be long? With the exception of csco, most of the networkers have had tough years (bay has recovered, but the company is not putting out great numbers). Are they all pulling stunts to look like they're doing ok? Why is 3com so much worse off than the others?
