Allen, I think Craig's probably a great guy, and it would be nice to have a beer with him someday (except for the fact that I still suspect he's really an artificial intelligence program produced by IBM's Deep Blue team). Unfortunately, he seems to be making a careful study of my portfolio, and taking the opposite position on every one of my holdings. He shorts FIBR, goes long YHOO, and now he's short on CYMI. Unless he's just going to position trade around my longer-term holdings, we can't both come out ahead.

Something very fishy about your posts! I'm a fan of Craig's as well and have followed him since I did battle with him last year on this thread. Craig has been wrong. Do not trade based solely on his diatribes. Craig touted Lightpath Technologies even when it was above 10. Go check their charts(tell of the tape!). Craig was going long in Ascend around 40, and gaurenteed that this stock would go up, it did, and then quickly nose dived. When everyone on that thread called him on that, he commented that it was their faults for not taking advantage of the $2 profit. Craig is a day trader, sitting on data from the exchanges and will/does change direction at the drop of a hat. I admire that about him, he holds no sentiment about a stock. He'll be long 1 minute then short it the next. I learned from him, it's a good lesson for even long term traders, don't fall in love with a company/stock. But there IS one exception, no matter what, for whatever reason (I don't know the full story) Craig hates Osicom. He's stated emphatically that he will never buy this stock. (All though I'm tempted to believe that he may have tried to bump the stock above $5 yesterday just so he may short it more!). Craig might be right, this stock may not stop until $0, but I believe it is the one stock he is trading on emotion. Be careful, do you own homework. Jim

Something is very fishy in FIBR..so says ignorance! Allen, Your out of the hat, serious investors distracting and further dispute provoking, slanderous statement in reference to FIBR may deliver consequences to you which you may not want or truely need. Now that you advertise that you are following in reckless format Mr. Craig Crawfords tooting without doing proper research yourself I will put your name in the message post which I kept open, on my site. skymidi.com Osicom , besides subject to the usual negative and selfserving comments by shortsellers and agents, on the payroll of market rivals- posing here as investors- is not liked by some big wheels in the communication industry because: Osicom is breaking down their masked monopolies on so many fronts that their making a living on Easy Street is seriously jeopardized Go no further as look at the Net+Arm a very affordable piece of silicon with all encompassing openess in hard and software. Any company product designer worth his grain of salt can without any difficulty design within a few weeks any Networkeable peripheral, Routers and Bridges, any medical instrument subject to communication and control, any gaming device subject to communication and control, any point of sales any industrial control subject to communications and real time control . And on and on........... The world markets wanted always openess but they could not get it because everyone was holding back in order to milk and suck forever. Innovative companies want Openess and Interoperability of their communications architecture and not paying software fees and take out licences. They want to be the middleman and not working for him!!! Any pyramid scheme in digital technology will collapse sooner or later. That was the promise of the digital Revolution when it started with the 4001 chip to name just one. Osicom heads are to be commended for their customer beneficial thoughts and the writer of the article in Borrows sent to the Sahara desert to collect by hand 1.000.000 sand corns. The product itself may only fall into the category of being innovative but surley it can revolutionize the entire internet industrial and commercial enviroment. Within a few month this piece of silicon could become a serious competitor to MSFT explorer and Netscape, Oracle and in more as one way a serious nibbler on the profits of IBM and the King of Kings namely INTEL. Provided it falls into the hands of competent software developers who are able to deliver to the customer a truely user friendly package. If I had the money I would design a Java based software package and hook it up to Net+Arm and sell, sell sell!!! People like you Allen, bare of any technical knowledge and obviously not able to differenciate their arm from their elbows for themselves should be refused entry on to threads like this one. My advise to you is go back to Rodgers Short Picks and stay there as a happy camper, waiting for the next prophecy involving doom and gloom. ED
