Bill, Rajiv "Message count in several CCSI and corresponding short threads soars: CCSI turned into Religion. After the relentless insults from CCSI yodelers and the prompt reactions from the humble short investing community slowed down significantly from the May and June frenzy, when CCSI company apparently failed to post good news about an "imminent" deal, CCSI-related post count is soaring again. Despite the average price of CCSI stock is downward oriented throughout the year and absolute price shifts are diminishing, the company put out itself on the boards by issuing press releases regarding another attempt to relaunch its year-old, still waiting-to-be marketed product. One has to weight the losses in time by inflating company related threads against the educational and entertainment value of the posts contained herein. In fact, it is a rare occasion that a fully news and timely corresponding comments history about the rise and recent failure of a company is available online - over the net. Still, as the saga is expected to be carried forward into the next year at least, message count humming at the current pace, it is not expected that substantial new facts and figures are added to the existing thread. Recently, the postings of the holders became more like ideology, in the spirit of: "We will hold, succeed and rule, regardless of neglectable items like price, earnings and share count". Indeed it has become cheaper to join the holders community since, as the shares still go for under $5." ........ <g> Christian
