<<Once again you and many others are shifting the blame to the market.>>

I'm not trying to lay any blame. I'm just stating the facts. As a small investor myself, I've learned by experience that trading in stocks that exhibit extreme volatility (i.e. TDFX) are risky. But I accepted this risk when I bought the stock, and have only myself to blame if the results don't meet my expectations. This stock is not for everyone and I sympathize with you if you've lost money.

Good luck,
Ryan

>>I trade to make money, not support companies.<<

Conversely, companies are in business to make money, not profits for traders or speculaters.

>>3DFX has mis-handled their marketing and PR<<

How can this be? If they handled things according to your liking would that have increased their earnings greater than .50? Or, would it have simply (you think) increased your profits or lack thereof.

Anthony:

Out of curiosity, when (date) exactly did you buy in? I never saw a post from you on this thread until the day of earnings. I can only assume you got in about then. I wonder if management has had the opportunity to become as inept as you claim they are in that span of time. Even if they have, I doubt the market would react to it that swiftly.
