Pancho Villa: I'm starting to believe the stock market is simply the worlds largest pyramid scheme.

<<I agree with you 100%. I averaged down on the price decline because I thought COMS, beeing [a serious?] company, remaining silent, meant that what was going on was the usual crowd panic. If they knew what was going on, they should have informed ALL investors! The stock would have taken a single big hit down instead of having people with the "insider information" make money trading. IMO this is penalizing the long term holders of the stock. Shame on them! >> What is your definition of "long term"?

Pancho your defining of term LongTerm needs to be clarified as your complaint appears applicable only to a short-term view. Also,I was in NO WAY surprised by COMS statements today because it was previously expressed to the analysts weeks ago and it was all over the news so how can you say it was not made available.This is OLD NEWS.That is why in a response to Craig I said the odds were in his favor(I randomly said 7-3)that COMS would get whacked again.Max
