No posting from Yahoo is a must-read. No credibility on those boards whatsoever. Bought more WIND today at 14.

Bob, I am an outsider and everything that this person says may be true, but for a company to double their revenue rate from 1996-1998, it is not likely based on pre 1990 efforts. This person sounds like he was fired. IMO. Brian

If the guys handle is Vxtalk, sounds like an agenda to me. Technically, we all see problems and if stock has not rebounded by now...it will be along time before it will come back, unfortunately. Reminds me of MRVC with years of beating estimates and talk of poor management IR, a few dicey acquisitions, then a bad quarter preannoucement caused a precipitous drop after an insidious fall. Those who bought between 20 and now hoping to bottomfish will sell out at first rise creating a cap preventing explosive return. Much to my chagrin as I keep averaging down. Voop

Sounds right to me. At least the stock action is more in tune with this informant's observations than the majority of Platonic wankings in geek posts on this thread. DPPL

This guy is an obvious fraud. The dead giveaway is his reference to WIND as the "number two RTOS vendor." He probably picked up that bit of misinformation from the following piece, which was originally published on 3/23 in Online Investor, and was then republished last week in TheStreet.com: >>>Embedded computer systems are showing up in more and more "smart" appliances, from telephones to clothes dryers. Wind River Systems (WIND:Nasdaq) is the No. 2 supplier of software that runs these embedded systems with a 22% share of the market. This is a market that is expected to grow at a rate of 50% a year, says Online Investor.<<< By the way, did WIND's crack IR team ever contact Online Investor or TheStreet.com to have this mistake corrected?

Well maybe, I got in this AM @ 16 and then read the Yahoo thread and came across the message you linked. After reading I noticed WIND was down 1/2 point and sold moving elsewhere. So I believed the poster to the extent that we had not reached bottom, and the chart so suggests this as well. So when WIND dropped another 1 1/2 points I was a happy camper. I'm tracking for re-entry @ 12 and under and am concerned about references to competition to WIND perhaps making this a serious situation and not for the faint of heart like myself.
