What I don't understand is why at the end of the column it says Cramer's fund is long "some" COMS. He doesn't usually qualify his positions by saying "some". Usually at the end of the column it will say something like "his fund is long Intel" or "his fund maintains positions in Intel, Microsoft, and Cisco". I don't recall ever seeing "some" before stating that his fund was long a particular stock. I am really disappointed in Cramer, he is waffling and flip-flopping like a fish. Usually not his style. He used to be bullish on COMS, then he went short late last year saying "They haven't done anything right for the last 6 months". Then shortly after that he said he thought COMS had "bottomed" in a chat session. A little while after that in another YHOO chat session he said he was "long but wished I weren't." Now apparently he wishes to be long "some" COMS again, but he doesn't sound like he has any conviction. Come on Cramer, quit waffling!

"The Street.com really blew it this time, spreading FUD when no FUD is present. " okay, i gotta ask... what is FUD, mang? something i should already know, no doubt. "The street.com said Thursday : ""It's not a reflection of their business going forward," says one analyst with a buy on the stock who requested anonymity. But such bullishness may not last. Many Street watchers worry that 3Com has severely harmed its credibility with the cloudy accounting." mang, do you maintain that the above quote from the article is wrong? if you do (and i think that is your point) i disagree. the statement "many street watchers worry...etc." is accurate, imo. nothing is said about justifiably so, right? perhaps i should just ask of you, mang, where in this excerpt do you think that thestreet.com "blew it this time"? maybe i'm getting it wrong, i don't know. regards, mr.mark
