>> I am long, however I would poijt out that my doom and gloom has been more accurate than your cheerleading,<< You're doom and gloom doesn't serve any purpose except to instill doubts and fears. Anybody whose been in this stock knows a lot about it's shortcomings. As far as you being accuarate of anything...it may have been a little different if you could have predicted it...but you've come in long after the fact. All you do is paint a bad picture everybody can see with their own two eyes with your constant moaning. As far as cheerleading, I'll admit, I'm a fan of COMS and think they have good potential for many reasons I've stated before. I've stated reasons why it's still a good play if your looking for returns in '99 and on out. I've also mentioned many things that I wish the company would focus on to improve. You on the other hand have no reason ever to explain your position (except for the eternal, "management needs to change"). I'm primarily a long-term investor, so I don't rate what's happening this month as reflective of COMS. >> It is time for poeple to wake up and smell the coffee<< You could care less what others think. Your interest, from what we've seen posted over the months...is to just stir up misery. Self-serving if anything. Usually indicates a short. If your not a short, then help out those that are long. Give some pros and cons to debate as to why we should cut losses or stay the course. I would expect that longs right now have no use for pity and whining. We don't want to see COMS drift down. We want to understand it, predict the future, and decide what's a good course of action for the future...for the company and for our investments. >>This stock has severe problems. I think they are management related.<< How many times are you going to say this? Why not add something to it? They've added Claflin, is that good or bad? Should they just eliminate a dozen people and start fresh? Who gets canned and who replaces? What is it exactly that management is doing wrong? (besides intentially moving your stock price down - anyways, you should be happy about it being a whining short). >>I am curious as to what you think they are?<< Oh, are you really? Why not offer an idea for debate beyond the simpleton excuse "Eric B. needs to leave". You know what? I don't think you care, because your level of work and interest is minimal. Prove to the thread that your more than just interested in wanting us to hear your pain (whining).
