Re: >Why the bashing? Craig has only stated his opinion on the stock. You responsed: because this is not just opinion, i'd rather call it manipulation. C'mon guy, manipulation? Maybe some goofs on SI think they can move a stock based on what they say, maybe penny stocks, but anyone who thinks a $12b market cap stock can move based on what someone writes on a web bulletin board is fretting over nothing! People may swallow it and say 'gee that guy might be right', would go off and sell at a loss. And you think this is going to affect COMS' price. C'mon!! Anyone that uninformed and so easily wavered over their own investments DESERVES to lose their shirt. I think you will find people on this thread are quite capable of making up their own informed minds on COMS and any other stock. Unfortunately too many have ALREADY made up their minds and use SI not as a sounding board for differing opinions and information but to compliment those who agree and flame those who don't. Geez...someone else remarked about the good old days of SI. Given the volume of thought-police flames and pom-pom-girl cheerleading posts, SI should be on a par with USENET (misc.invest.stocks) in no time. :-(
