GC: You seem pretty confident that the stock is headed for a steep decline after this week's earnings announcement. That's fine... I just don't appreciate the posts that taunt the other readers with crap like "you haven't seen the REAL bad news yet?" Well..what is this real bad news you think is imminent? Or chastising us for "ignoring the dangerous signs that lie ahead?" What are you..some type of shakespearean soothsayer? (Beware the ides of March) Back up what you have to say with what you think these dangerous signs are. -The mildly annoyed Player

Re: These published "growth rate" has to come down. And just how do you know that? PeopleSoft guided analysts lower by about 5% in their last quarterly report. Do you know something the rest of us do not? What danger signs? In case you have missed it, (although I would wonder why since you bought this company as an IPO), PSFT has consistently exceeded street estimates by between 8 and 16% or there abouts. They did that last quarter also. If you have solid substantive and attributed information I would love to hear it. If you are simply conjecturing, label it as such and we can evaluate it based on your credibility or the credibility of the source. Butr don't tell us to focus on some murky future that you are making up and pass it along as fact. You challenged jhg to look at the future, and then proceded to ignore your own advice. When I took up your challenge you side-stepped the issue with gratuitous nonsense such as: "Most small investors lost their money because they "trust" these numbers and ignore the dangerous signs ahead."
