Incredible article in the WSJ. What a stock, what a story. I would even find it funny if a lot of people and good friends hadn't lost a lot of money. Ok, one could say that this is the market and they shouldn't have margined their position. But this is only one side of the truth. The other side is the incredible short attack by ASSensio and his followers. We have been robbed. What did we learn from ASSensio that we didn't know already. The answer: NOTHING. Prove me wrong, if you can. That is why I increased my position. I liked this stock at 15, so I love it at 5. Why don't we have a deal? I have NO clue. Will there be a deal? My bet is: YES. I have done my DD, read a lot, spoken to experts. I think this is a great technology and there is a BIG market for it. I am impatient and frustrated too. But I will stay here untill I know who is right (the shorts or the longs). As I said, my bet is on the long side. Besides, I find it very unfair that people are blaming Skip when they loose money. Skip's timing sucks from time to time but as to the story, I share his opinion 100 %. When do you Americans learn to take your responsability? When you smoke and get cancer, you blame the tobacco industry. When you loose in the market, you blame your broker or the guy who put his sincere opinion on this thread. Can't you just say "I am an adult and I am making the personal decision to invest in a stock. It is MY decision. No one compelled me to buy it. I know it is risky and when I loose I made the wrong decision. Period". N.B. Skip has a lot of courage. Many, many people would have gone or at least be quiet. But not he. Although the stock price has fallen, he has still the same confidence and is stating this in public. If this plays out the way I think it will, I will do whatever I can to stop some people form doing this again. But it makes no sense to further discuss this now. CCSI has to deliver first. Patience and cold blood are needed now. I have both. And don't forget: it ain't over till it's over (and it has only just begun). Manfred
