Mercifully, over for the night. I have not laughed so much in a long time. Some of those guys went over to the FBN IPO thread and started to rat Janice out that she was spending her time tearing down the competition. Then went on to say that after doing their DD on FBN that it wasn't going anywhere. I suppose I must be easily amused, but the posts of that guy claiming he was a champ at DD, and FBN was in real trouble, was a classic. No effort to remove his foot from his mouth was successful.

Well, back to work for me. The Ghost thread is really quite a peaceful place.

Huh? If you choose this thread(#Subject-15467) you will see on the
left "Related Subjects (New)". A quick click shows threads "X-Ray
vision a must" and "Hi-Tech Haiku". Somehow I never thought of COMS
this way. What two posters do you suppose are goofing up Brad's
alorithm? <g>

Tech tea leaves show investors should be wary
Mercury News - Posted at 12:04 a.m. PDT Monday, April 27, 1998

Tech stock investors once liked to repeat a simple investing maxim:
Buy 'em at the AEA, sell 'em at H&Q.

The loading-up signal was the American Electronics Association annual
financial conference in the late fall, and the time to bail was at the
Hambrecht & Quist Technology Conference, which begins today in
San Francisco.

''I think things could get real ugly for the networking stocks in the
second half of the year,'' says Kevin Landis, a portfolio manager for
the Technology Value Fund in San Jose.

He fears that revenue growth can't keep up with falling average selling
prices and that no networking company will be immune. That includes
Cisco Systems Inc. (Nasdaq, CSCO), the only major equipment maker
not scheduled to present at H&Q. Lucent Technologies Inc. (NYSE, LU),
Bay Networks Inc. (NYSE, BAY), 3Com Corp. (Nasdaq, COMS) and Ascend
Communications Corp. (Nasdaq, ASND) all are on the agenda.

Cisco's current quarter ends Thursday and the company is scheduled to
report earnings May 5. A disappointment by Cisco or any indication by
management that the balance between falling prices and rising revenues
will worsen undoubtedly would rattle the tech market. Cisco, unlike
Bay, 3Com and Ascend, continues to trade near its 52-week high.
