Charles, First you tell me you didn't mean it, you meant the screaming shorts on this thread, then you tell me you stand by it. OK. Whatever. Rising profits are rising profits. I don't care if they got them playing kazoo in front of Macy's. If how mattered in today's market, there would be lots of companies with stock in the doghouse. Hmmmm, you mean stock in the doghouse like.... oh I don't know... INPR!!! OK, so you don't care how they get them, profits that is. So if they were buying back their shares at 5 (share buy back program) and then selling them again at 7, would that matter?? Making a nice buck off of trading their own stock in a self maintained range? Would you care if they were using their Starfish cash to speculate in currency futures? OK. You don't care how they get them. I stand by it. Shorts are out today and the stock price is holding above 5 with almost no volume. I think maybe an SEC look at this stock's action the last few months, including the spin of the players here on this thread (among other SI threads, which I understand are underway), would be a good thing. This ridiculous business of you thinking that you can scare people by talking about the SEC and/or SI looking into the spin of the players here on this thread, is truly pathetic. I URGE you, to contact the SEC and SI. I URGE you. Investigate every post I have made on this or any other thread. No amount of your juvenile scare tactics will stop me from posting what I see out there in the investment world. By the way, should we look at those posts that said THIS IS IT, WE ARE GOING TO THE MOON, when the stock most recently got in the 7's?? I don't think so, even though they were totally wrong. It was their opinion. But if investigations is what you need to take your mind off your long investment in INPR, far be it from me to tell you how to have a good time. Cube

Charles, Trying to induce positive spin on the dismal performance of Inprise -- and by extension its management -- only makes you look foolish. Perhaps it's more than a look, however, it's bad form to make sweeping judgements about a person based on a few silly remarks. Your suggestion that the SEC look into the spin surrounding INPR reveals an almost comical display of ignorance regarding the performance of this company versus the action of the stock. It's also absurd to suggest that private investors have some sort of extra-constitutional limits on expression. Your foolish comments have a decidedly desperate flavor so I take it you made yet another bad move on the long side; that's your problem, deal with it and stop trying to blame somebody else. As for investigations, of course the SEC is always looking out for brokers and other securities professionals violating securities laws -- obviously they operate under specific agreements that don't apply to you and me. Is there something new about that? I certainly support it and I would hasten to add that these investigations are BY FAR aimed at those who are PUMPING stocks to cash in on the long side. I can honestly say that if there's one stock whose price honestly reflects business reality it's INPR. Stop wasting your feeble barks here Charles, you're just making yourself look stupid.
