Once again 3com shows lousy management. How hard would it be to give the investment community an earnings release date. If you are unsure of when they will be ready then give a date far enough out so you are sure you can make it. The uncertainty is what is killing this stock. The only good news that I can see that this could be is that they are being taken over and want a concurrent announcement. However that probably means lousy earnings and a takeunder. Unfortunately like so many others ont his thread I have lost too much money on this stock to bail now, however management really su__s.

How does Briefing.com know 3com is going to release the earnings on Monday 22nd? If 3com is unwilling to give a date to any analyst, then they are not going to give it to Briefing.com. Any idea? H.Wai

Briefing has lost so much credibility lately that COMS isn't even taking them seriously enough to tell them.....the tone of Briefing's release says it all..."Is it just us [or are we being ignored by 3Com]" I have noticed in the past the following with Briefing: By the time Briefing gets most news items the news is old news...to the point I use it as a "sell-the-news-rehash" into the flood of volume it generates for a few minutes after such a release (I of course would be holding the stock based on said news from a more timely and accurate news source). Heck the real-time Internet trading community uses them by flooding Briefing's e-mail news hot-line with "tips" that have long since propigated to the internet trading community. FTR I do not condone this or participate. By the time briefing propigates what those boneheads think is "hot news", smart money is already in and loaded with a nice cheap position...it's worth a few percentage points as the traders sell into the news to those unsuspecting newbie-momentum players.
