Profit, Below is just one paragraph from about ten in Cisco's most recent 10Q. They go on about Asia being a problem, decreasing margins and a whole list of big scary's. It's a legal CYA and nothing more. Why don't you beat yourself over the head with that stick. Where do you get more pronunced? Read Cisco's 10Q, read Microsoft's, they go out of their way to list every possible bad luck scenario in order to avoid lawsuits. All public companies do and especially techs, the more bad news they postulate on and warn about the more they are protected from lawsuits. So the amount of bad stuff or how pronounced it is cannot be used purely to compare one stocks risk to another. Osicom is underfollowed, so without analysts guidance for investors they must be upfront at all times and thus disclose this type of thing in their news releases. It's practical and good judgement and only people like you hold it up as dirty laundry and only idiots sell their stock because of your stupid assertion that Osicoms legal disclaimer is "more pronounced." Someone told me once shorts are usually very smart investors since they take such big risks. You don't seem to fit that category at all. Of course unless your just a hypster. From Cisco's 10Q: "The markets for the Company's products are characterized by rapidly changing technology, evolving industry standards, frequent new product introductions, and evolving methods of building and operating networks. There can be no assurance that the Company will successfully identify new product opportunities and develop and bring new products to market in a timely manner, or that products and technologies developed by others will not render the Company's products or technologies obsolete or noncompetitive."
