gc. OK, fair enough. You have a 'feeling' or 'opinion' that

ther is bad news ahead , around the corner, we haven't heard yet.

And you have clarified that this is not based on any fact. Not the fact of this future bad news itself, but there is no factual thing which leads you to the 'opinion' or 'feeling'. If there was some factual basis, then the opinion can be assessed based on what people think of the factual basis.

When someone makes a statement like more bad news ahead or around the corner, everyone wants to know the basis.

Of course, as far as I am concerned, we haven't had any real bad news at all - there was no 'bad news' to send this stock down. To me, it was mostly fear. But it was based on premise that market for ERP slowing, all money going to Y2K, etc. There seems to be consensus this fear or setback will ease off in 1999. The market for ERP seems to be there in all the projections. Where does the bad news come from?

(I am not sure if this is totally coherent at 11pm Sat, but I am hitting SUBMIT anyway).

GC:

If they are opines, all we ask is WHY? I don't mind "hearing what I don't want to hear." It's difficult to debate you when you lack any substance whatsoever. Chuzzlewit echoes my sentiment on some of these points. All you do is claim this stock sucks. Fine...why does it suck...or why is it going to suck in the next 12 months. This lack of substance combined with your condescending tone is the source of my mild annoyance. You're only discrediting yourself, when you don't back up what you have to say with some sort of rationality.

Anyway...post what you want at this point..no need to get bent out of shape...or defensive. I'll just ignore the ones I think are dumb. I'm also not gonna go belly-aching to the Webmaster or SEC (what?!?) b/c you're not a fan one of my stocks. I'm just asking politely for you to add some depth to your statements.
