Boasting about bad judgement? You gambled and happened to end up right apparently. That's what the majority have done. For the first time in history the stock market has blindly accommodated extended poor judgement. Apparently you sold. You traded this dog. You played the information stream game successfully apparently. You didn't buy GMGC for its fundamental strength. You bought it because it was on a tout list and you sold because for the first time in your life you had some money. Don't mistake brains for a bull market. You claim to be knowledgeable about software because you are the CEO of a software rink-a-tink operation, yet you are making some dire claims based on Y2K? I seem to recall some other clown on this thread make some comments about that. What this clown did was program some of his "unit tested" goop and pass it on to someone else who had to swallow the uncoordinated units as they failed when enjoined to the rest of the program. Sounds just like y2k syndrome, one set of guys passing their poorly thought-out code to some other set of hapless guys. When I encounter programmers I usually have to stand back and remind myself that these guys are the ones who flunked out of letters and science and were relegated to the ignominy of comp. sci. I thought that was unfair. Defend as I have tried it has all gone for naught because when programmers are yamming about Y2K, I realize that they should have been flunked for being such imbeciles. The bust, my boy, isn't going to work in the way that you can see it. No. It has already proven to be too clever to let fools benefit. It is going to suck you in and take every last GMGC dollar right out of your hand even though you have my face over your shoulder trying to remind you that you are a guaranteed fool to put that money down. In spite of the fact that you shouldn't do it only for the reason that there is the risk that I will be right, you'll do it anyway. That is the nature of superficially-gotten gains. You have to pay big time for them. The reason is that you didn't understand what it takes to keep the profits, because that knowledge only comes with the suffering of business as usual and miserable losses. XML is hot? Guess who presented the first XML rah-rah on this thread. You made an investment based on this propaganda? In order for ODIS to bottom line benefit from an exponentially increasing demand for XML, the company literally has to remake itself as a system integrator for net software and minimize its db role. Something like that would require leadership. This company doesn't have it. It has Harvard written all over it.
