I agree, the guy showed up in a t-shirt, FORGOT his hat (Joe K was devastated) and let himself get reamed by Mark Haines. Tssk Tssk.

Needless to say I immediately dumped my 7500 warrants at 3 9/16 (bot at 3/8) and looked for another play.

Joe K was just DYING to play with this toy. No hat, no demo, no nada. What a way to do biz. :-((

This pup coulda ran to 15-20 EASILY if the CEO hadn't SCREWED THE POOCH!

You know, I really disagree with both of these negative posts about the CEO. He impressed me a great deal more than many of the "suited" buffoons I have seen represent themselves as CEO's. Why he didnt bring the ONE toy that CNBC wanted to talk about, I dont know, but there was obviously some miscommunication there. And why was CNBC so hostile anyway? Why focus on the biggest potentially negative, and potentially misunderstood factor of the stock, instead of the product? Seems to me there were a lot of politics at work (many conclusions jump to mind, but pure speculation) and I thought the CEO handled himself very well under that kind of surprise and pressure.

And if you "dumped" your shares/warrants, then you were here only for the spike anyway (no judgement) and not for the intrinsic value of the company and its product. Its not as if Daimler Benz and Boeing dumped XYBR!! Better to get the daytraders gone anyway and let the stock establish its real base. XYBR was dealing all day long with overwhelming calls and I have to assume it is from investors (INVESTORS, mind you) wanting to know more about a stock which is to be a future investment for them.

The guy didn't even bring all his XYBR toys to the show....and someone should tell him how to present himself to potential investors (hell..the whole investment community was watching this interview). As on outsider watching the interview, he looked like any computer nerd in a tee-shirt and silly hat with a fancy calculator....not your typical CEO of a company whos deserves my money.

I agree that the CEO needs serious fashion and grooming help. But if he had brought the headset, he would have looked like a total dork. I mean, more than he actually did.

You're quite correct - the CEO didn't look like the slick, Wall Street type. He looked more like one of those CEOs interviewed on Digital Jam (CNNfn).
