<< Have you ever considered this, Craig? Perhaps there are those of us on this thread who are aware that FIBR has had problems? >>

Lousy management never just suddenly get it right. They have done nothing worthwhile in the past and will continue with their shenanigans in the future. I don't think management is inept, I think they need to stick to a simpler business like making license plates.

Let's talk about these Net+Arm chips or whatever they are called. They sell for a measly $30 or $40 in quantity. FIBR is going to need to sell millions of these to drive any sales and earnings.

Show me a market that is ready to accept millions of these things.

FIBR isn't an INTC, TXN, or MOT.

I thought you were going to stop bickering with craig.

I doubt craig is here to save you.

I don't see why you don't counter his arguments. Sure, a lot of us have been here a long time and been through it so many times we're sick of it, but there are a lot of new eyes on this board now. I gotta tell you that if I didn't already know this company and had followed craig to this board because of what he said your attitude would definately start me thinking of shorting. You guys have actually got me wondering if he isn't right. Not him, too many holes. Just you. Oh well, it's too late to short it anyway.

>>>There were many years there where IBM didn't look so hot on paper either.<<<

Yep, and T didn't look very good earlier this year when you could have bought it at 31, or AMES when you could have had it at 3. But the revenues were there, and from revenues profits follow. It's why I like low PSR stocks, even if the balance sheet doesn't look too great.

To paraphrase Senator Benson: I know IBM, I follow IBM, & I would like to bring to your attention that FIBR is no IBM.

IBM made money initially by inventing a culture and bringing products that created niche markets. FIBR is an "also" ran in an already crowded market.

I do sincerely wish you good luck in your investments. I wouldn't be surprised if you make some money in FIBR.
