>>That is code speak for we botched the quarter (again), but over the long-term we are confident that our business remains intact. 3Com said this a year and a half ago when they were telling the street how they screwed up again. The price of the stock was exactly the same as it is now. Back then Eric Benhamou was on CNBC telling everyone that the fundamentals of the business were just fine, the channel was just a little stuffed.<< If this is true, and Eric B. has mislead investors, or totally miss-calculated this quarter, then the company is probably up for sale, IMO. No investor can stay with this kind of volatility. Even if the quarter comes out well, at this point, it's insane, too much uncertainty. >> Back then Eric Benhamou was on CNBC telling everyone that the fundamentals of the business were just fine, the channel was just a little stuffed.<< If he gets caught in this kind of lie again, which I can't believe anybody is dumb enough to do again, then heads will roll.
