If it would help, I will be more than happy to not post until after the conference call. It would be a nice 5 business day cooling off period. My offer of course, is only good if K agrees to same. I don't think there is any chance that he will do that since it is quite obvious that his job is to stir up as much negative sentiment toward LSI before the conference call as possible. But if K wants to be a real man, then he is free to do so. I would also note the the presence of professionals like K on this board is a harbinger of good times to come. (And make no mistake about it, K is a professional at what he does. His job is to drive this stock into a frenzy for day traders.) In its glory days, LSI was a highly volatile stock that often had intra-day swings of 10 percent. Since this is the beginning of the next upcycle in chips, you are going to see a lot of K's arriving on this thread, whether you like it or not. That's the nature of semis. Addi: It may come as a disappointment to you, but Tom Kurlak upgraded this stock about a month ago, so according to you, it might be a good time to sell. On the other hand, it you truly believe that analysts are con artists, whose sole job is to pump and dump stocks, how do explain the phenomenal success of Ben Zacks who has clearly outperformed the S&P over the past fifteen years merely by using a system that focuses on analyst's upgrades? Finally, to those people who have analogized this thread to the Hatfields and the McCoys, I would only point out that I have complimented K in a variety of ways. I have only spoken against him when he has lied. It's that simple. And I have the right to protect the integrity of the company as well as the stock price of the company in which I have a substantial investment. I see my role as neutralizing K's vitriol. Without exception those lies have been directed against LSI rather than for LSI. And I have done so by using his own words, which he claims is manipulating the facts. Maybe it's time to have a little poll. If anyone thinks that K is really who he says he is--an LSI investor who owns 75,000 that he bought at 21 and 1/4 and he is just so anxious about his purchase that he constantly attacks the stock and its prospects and its management, let me know via private message. If you believe K has an ulterior motive, also let me know via private message.
