[DELL]

Nobody buying Dell computers at CC!!! It's true, stop by your local Circuit City and ask the manager how many Dell computers they've sold this Christmas. The answer will be ZERO. Dell longs will accuse me of lying for saying this but if you pin them down they'll sheepishly admit that I am absolutely correct. It's true folks, go to any Computer City, Sears, Fry's Electronics, Office Depot and ask the manager how many Dell computers they've sold this holiday shopping season. See if they don't confirm what I've learned, that they aren't selling ANY Dell computers at all. Not a single one. All their customers are going home with other brands.

(DELL), Post #382765/#382780. Oh, I DO believe it's true. DELL only sells direct. It operates the world's highest revenue e-commerce website billing ~$1m daily.

INSP (#143366): 'REVENUE of 66 Million and only $8.00?? I'll buy 1,000 more thank you!'

VIGN (#21799): LOOK CO THAT JUST SIGNED UP 97 NEW BLUE CHIP CUSTOMERS AT $7.00 WITH 311 MILLION IN REVENUE? BOUGHT 2,500!!!THANKS WHO EVER SOLD AT $7.00..

('All_cash_man' should be. Revenues? How about PROFITS? You own 1000 shares of a company (INSP $138 -> $5) that's losing over $1.00 p/sh (total losses = $282 million), and another company (VIGN $100 -> $6.80) that's losing $2.47 p/sh with total losses of more that $half-billion! Additionally, both companies just announced lowered expectations, layoffs, revised operating plans, departing executives, restructuring,...

SANM (#4690, 10:45am): When should I buy SAMN? Anyone?

SANM (#4692, 11:00am): I bought 1000 of SANM. After being told it's a good time to buy...

SANM (#4701, 2:30pm): Thanks. I will buy more. The next day...

SANM (#4722): SANM is damn cheap. I buy more and hold.

SANM (#4755) SANM is the stock of 01. Strong and powerful.

(#4765) SANM 5 start looking good. --- (#4896): Look for rebound to $38. Great buy. --- (#4924): Buying more and more of SANM --- (#4952): As sellers step out, buyers step in. --- (#5001): SANM marketcap may hit $25-$30b. SANM may stay busy for next 5 years. --- (#5024): Do not short SANM. people have lost everything by shorting. SANM long. --- (#5027): Buy, buy, buy. Great company with great potential!

Her final post: (#5040) A lot of junk posts for selling stuff! I hate it when they post on message board and naming stocks!

After posting her simplistic messages daily for 2 weeks, Wallisup appears to have deserted her 'dirt cheap' 'stock of 01'. Maybe she meant the first 2 weeks of Feb '01. A little ironic she complained of others spamming stocks on her SANM board, yet she posted those same mindless messages on the SUNW, FLEX, XLA, INTC, NTAP boards.

[ORCL]

ORCL (#155982): 'ORCL DETROYED MY FAMILY AND 5 KIDS!!! This company has stole my 5 children's future and making them go hungry. I am pregnant with my 6th child and they are not doing their jobs.'

INSP (#216554): 'I NEED HELP! NEED ADVICE TO RAISE MONEY. for my 5 kids. Can someone tell me how to start a web business successfully. I know how to make a web page and I have one. I ordered all the make money packages on TV but have not made any money. PLEASE HELP! I saw a guy that started a web page called send me a dollar and he made $26,000. Thanks.'

INSP (217768): 'INSP IS DESTROYING BEAUTIFUL CHILDREN and this CEO has no conscience. My boyfriend is out of work and we will probably end up on welfare as I am expecting my 6th child. I am also applying for social security disability for my depression.'

ERICY (45028): 'THIS ERICY CEO IS SO SICK .... While he sits on his butt watching the price go down my children go hungry. While he drives a fancy car my money paid for my 5 kids go hungry. While he drives up to his lavish million dollar house my kids go hungry. This is sick.'

You seem to be a sincere and caring Mother who deeply loves her children. So here's a suggestion for your fledgling web business - kids4sale.com ... maybe your children can find a life of opportunity with someone like,... oh maybe, the ORCL, INSP or ERICY CEO....

[MSFT]

Click_to_see_more (when you do, his favorite link is microsoft_sucks.com) has an enemy. Unlike you and me, he's chosen one of the most powerful and influential companies in the world headed by the world's second most wealthy individual. So we take this time to acknowledge his ambition.

However, how foolhardy is it to relentlessly attack a company with a de facto monopoly in a sector forecast for rapid growth until forever...

This post illustrates his socialist leanings (377179): MS Declares War on Free Software: `It is safe to say that Microsoft shares certain, but not all, (programming code) and only does so when it is in the best interests of the company, not in the interest of dynamic innovation within the industry. (Link Provided)'

What's your point, Clicky? That Microsoft wants to make money, and to protect their investment by refraining from giving their product away for free... and to protect their product from theft by competitors?

What other compaines are you invested in? Do you want them to give away their products and/or services without compensation? How will they pay the employees? The rent? They will be forced to closed down and all who worked there will be unemployed.

This post (#377700) show your total lack of knowledge about stock splits:

< If you had a $20 bill, and the treasury gave you two $10 bills for it, you would still be in the same condition, wouldn't you? > That's not a fair comparision to a stock split, and you know it! More like, "If you had a $20 bill, and the treasury gave you two $20 bills for it". Have you been drinking your breakfast?

Clicky, do you really believe that when a company splits its stock that it gives investors twice as many shars in return??? Wow, what a great deal. Then when every company splits its stock the price should double, right? Wrong, Fool.

Oh, and Clicky, regarding this comment from you (MSFT #377768) 'Didn't you notice that Yahoo! restructured its index recently? Didn't you notice that "ancient" messages don't show up during searches? Try mine under the 'Fools Games & Tools' link below.

You might want to run it and check the accuracy of this comment by you (377699): 'I posted Friday night, and Saturday morning. Then nothing until Saturday night, nothing overnight, and now Sunday morning. If that's 24-7-365 to you, then I have some "reliable" software from Microsoft for you!'. My search show you by far the most active MSFT poster - 6% of all posts just for the past 50,000 posts!

[JBOH]

'Jan 14, 2000 (#88429): 'Bidding @ $8.00...Here we go.' So begins Ironside908's investment into money-losing financial services company, JB Oxford.

Having admittedly poured $328,000 (41k shares @$8.00) into this hapless also-ran of a company, Ironside shows that his chosen alias is a misnomer by mindlessly cheerleading even the most mundane of PR's and forward-looking statements into somehow suckering others into saving his investment which has declined from $20 -> $1.50 in 2 years.

After losing $150k in 6 months, Ironside cites a link proclaiming the REAL value of JBOH @ $27 (#110459). Unfortunately, to paraphrase a sports analogy, 'That's why we play the game', Ironside.

Some favorites:

120635: Did you know Merrill registered the name Merrilllynchschwab.com....??!!!!!! If they buy Schwab, all OLB's will come into play FAST. OK, but where's Merrilllynchschwabjboxford.com?

#121378: No one is selling. I love it... We're slowly but surely crawling up with low volume...meaning no one is willing to sell. No one's buying either. Stock has declined in the 6 months since this statement.

#123194: Latest Institutional Purchases... Yeah, but the NET institutional activity is +60% selling.

#123883: My hat is OFF TO JBOH business model, or should I say to JBOH management team? Finally this is the year for JBOH to shine! Really? Compare JBOH to its' peers.

JBOH vs Industry

Industry
P/E Ratio
n/a
22.55
Institutional Ownership

Sales Growth
-61.54%
+4.67%

#127246: Big Deal: we are down 3/32. We needed a pullback as we were on top of the charts...now there is enough room for more appreciations. 3/32 equated to ~10%. That was kind'a a big deal, but there sure is room for appreciation. The ceiling was getting a little too close. :-))

#125923: I see my post below did not get any attention. Read this once more... step back, and digest the fact that jboh will be a success story in wall street this year... You have chance here to GAIN many times of what you have lost during past years.

#128593: JBOH BREAK OUT... One of the biggest factors an investor should consider before buying a stock is what type of chart pattern the stock is forming. A company may have great fundamentals but if it has an unfavorable chart pattern then it may not be a good company to invest in. Look as how jboh created a PERFECT cup & handle chart... Then why did you invest in JBOH? It has created a perfect ski-slope since 1999.

May 31, 2001 (#128946): I don't hype. I support my investment in JBOH....! I have a long position and feel confortable with it. Ironside: -$250,000 in JBOH.'

'A picture's worth a 1000 words' --- so imagine what can be said with gazillions of pictures! Well, not much really. Frustrated messageboard 'artist' Donegonefishing makes his points with ASCII art in much the same primitive manner a caveman would draw elk and bisons on his wall to celebrate his victory over the dimwitted and defenseless animals.

Donegonefishing chooses dimwitted and defenseless public companies (and their investors) as his prey - and internet cave drawings are his weapon.

His favorite recent targets are dying RAZR ($23.62 -> $0.31) and INSP ($60.00 -> $1.56) and here are some victory dance samples from his Yahoo portfolio:

Fedups4u (JDSI 338922):
'IDIOT BASHER, on CNBC they said the nasdaq has momentum, and should keep moving up until the next rate cut. The last time JDSU moved like this, JDSU moved from $13 to $28 in the spring. In three weeks JDSU should be $18.'

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Some choice JDSU Fedsup4u quotes:

#328115: 'JDSU will be at $15 this week.'

#328607: 'SHORTS ARE OUT RIGHT LIARS, IGNORE THEM.'

#328680: 'IF YOU VISIT ANY OTHER STOCK MESSAGE BOARD, YOU WILL SEE THESE SAME PAID BASHERS, TRYING TO TARE THE STOCK UP. DO NOT LISTEN TO THESE PAID BASHERS!'

#322721: 'Bad news already built into this price.'

#333107: 'WE HAVE A BOTTOM, UP from Here. Future looks Very Bright.'

#333044: 'UPGRADES on the way, Bottom is here! JDSU is oversold, and at a value.'

'Ya gotta love the joyful naïveté of youth (or the peaceful serenity of advance alzheimers). Do investors really heed investment sentiment from CNBC??? Which 15 minute segment do base investment decisions on? Which analysts, which flip comment or casual mention...?

Fedups4u has a problem with 'Idiot Bashers'... Idiot Longs are welcome, especially himself. Is this a real person, or a computer bot spouting the same worn mindless platitudes unsure investors long to hear.

Short sellers are nothing but self-interested wimps that hide behind their computers and hope to make a few extra dollars on the backs of hard working Americans.

Sit tight? Accumulate? Sir, one of us ain't getting it - and it ain't me. They're BANKRUPT. $300m assests vs. $1.2b in debts. Gong: Game over. NO upside here.

You continue to post about alleged upcoming EBITDA profitability, reduced overhead, and network costs --- but this is without YOU, the common shareholders.

Clue: When a company files for bankruptcy protection, this is never good news for shareholders of the common stock. Never. Will you change your 'Poster Sentiment' from 'Strong Buy' when you're reduced to auctioning your certificates on eBay? If this is such a 'Strong Buy', why are you begging for a bailout from the U.S. Government?

The good news: You still have your (physical) health.

Just in time for the eagerly-awaited annual 'Fool of the Year' award, the first documented case of self-immolation on a stock trading messageboard.

ENE (#56258) I want to sue my broker. He insisted I buy ENE 3 weeks ago, I am down 80% I want to sue this MF, is it possible? He won't even return my calls.

ENE (#64854) God Almighty my 401K. why god why are you doing this to me? What have I done to deserve this? Why do I have to suffer? Somebody kill me PLEASE somebody shoot me. I can't watch this anymore.

ENE (#70482) Somebody shoot me please kill me - my 401K is gone!

ENE (#75743) Remember me? I will commit suicide. today. You will hear me on the 6pm news. My name is Michael Dravano I am 54 years old, I have 3 kids and I've lost all my life savings with ENE stock. I've been an ENE employee for 25 years. I am paying for my mistake but I don't want my kids to suffer. I will commit suicide so that they will take my life insurance money. Goodbye. Michael


You're a fool, Michael. You deserve no pity. Sue your broker because he 'insisted' you buy something? You gonna sue God too because he 'did this to you'?

Better check that policy - no payout on suicide. You gonna leave your wife and three kids fatherless because you lost some money on an investment? Only a fool values money more than life, family and responsibilty.
