<<Enough already! If I didn't know better, I would say you were on David House's or John Chambers payroll! I've been reading this thread for a while and your extreme pessimism is growing old!!!!>> Sorry, Checkmate. I guess I would describe my attitude as "realistic" not pessimistic, but, maybe that's semantics. If this board is for cheerleading, then I'll keep quiet. I was trying to bring a little sense of reality to counter some of the unjustified "optimism" that's on here. I'm in the industry and have followed this company a long time, always looking to find a reason to invest on its many downswings. After two years of watching it its just finally sunk in that it seems like a one way street...down. I'd love to hear solid reasons why things will be different for CS, I can't find any that make sense and all I read here seems like wishful thinking. Since I don't own the stock, I'll keep my mouth shut from now on, if its bothering folks.
