QUIT RE-POSTING!!! DON'T PUSH THIS STOCK INTO UNSUSPECTING HANDS. I AM LONG I AM NOT SHORT, BUT I AM REALISTIC. You are a broker trying to tout a stock!! There are some risks here and the company has been executing in a horrifyingly poor fashion of late. Former management is not well liked. there are historical stories of creating OEM deals that gave European distribution unlimited license rights in exchange for up front $. They're facing a major transition (actually good for the long term) in their OEM model that defers payment. And they're losing share on the retail shelves. MCRE is in front of a series of new product cycles and there is a new (but relatively unknown) CEO. (any thoughts Eric?) The risk reward is attractive, but if you talk to the individual analysts there is more DOWNSIDE to estimates in the short term. So to all the other lurkers here, be wary of one sided promotionalism. QUIT RE-POSTING!!! DON'T PUSH THIS STOCK INTO UNSUSPECTING HANDS. I AM LONG I AM NOT SHORT, BUT I AM REALISTIC. TD

Intelligent discussion starts when you stop pushing the stock behind an anonymous name. Past management has made public comments about the earnings numbers being on track, then weeks later coming out and saying there will be a shortfall. There is a serious lack of trust here. Is this whining, or fact by your definition?

Your touting might pass, if you didn't repost exact same flog daily. You've now posted the exact same solicitation for the purchase/sale of a stock (without previously delivering a prospectus), with three different headers, each day for the last three ... message 540, 543, and 547. Obviously, you're changing the headers so newbies won't realize you're repeating the same main text each day. If you admit you are a broker touting a stock, why not disclose the name of your firm, your real name, and make the necessary disclosures of your firm's position in the stock? Is it the Securities Exchange Commission you're afraid of, or the disappointed customers who might seek you out later? Posts like yours ruin what is ordinarily a good exchange of views here. So far, all we see is your ability to cut and paste the same text from God knows where. At least you could vary your pitch by a few words occasionally, to preserve your pride.
