  • SMTC has responded favorably five of its last eight announcements. However, it had never run up 20% in the month prior to announcing as it has this time.
    SGA and R&D costs slipping away. Cannot grow organically so down to buying to add Revs.? Does not justify such a high multiple.

    Sentiment: Sell

  • Where's CGX's cash? Zero sales growth, zero earnings growth (long term), not reducing debt, no dividend, no cash...What's the plan? Buying yourselves back because you think you're cheap at $30? No volume in either options or stock but shorts are smart.

    Sentiment: Strong Sell

    You two look so foolish. Noone (!) has ever made money investing at any time in IDTI. Did you get that? Only those in management and on the board who have exercised their options on the backs of losing investors have made money in IDTI. Investors have only lost their #$%$ for thirteen years on IDTI. Argue those facts and I invite anyone to pull up the chart. Now, this is the miracle year and time? 2014? Pathetic. You're both hacks paid by the company to monitor social media comments and earn about what...300 rupees a month? About $30/mo.? I'm outta here. Talk to you in the Fall. Have fun again tomorrow, too....just like yesterday. Paul's +23% lie went to +18% lie in a hurry, huh?

    SGI - another worth zero dollars

    It doesn't look like that $13 May put will come back in. With stocks like SGI, you never know when the idiots are going to throw in the towel. Sell it short and ride it out. $14.50. Mark. Don't let a couple hundred thousand shares of short covering scare you away. Thank them.

    Positive on CIEN a year ago at $10.00; negative on PAY at it's all-time high a year ago? Price cut in half. I just looked back because I had a pretty good year last year and wanted to see what you're looking at. Obviously, you're in trouble and a liar. There's no point you could have bought IDTI in the last six months and be up 23%. Oh! You bought it at the EXACT LOW!!!!! Of course!!!!!!!! You #$%$ liar. Have fun, Paul.

    Are you kidding?! FTNT? PMCS? SCMR? KITD? Which of them was wrong? What a loser for taking it so personally and trying to be mean. IDTI is going to zero within two years. I'll think of your post with each tick down. The open this morning at $7.12 is the highest this stock will ever trade again. Sell short.

    Sentiment: Strong Sell

  • They've never made money. Who are the three trained seal analysts with them making NG over a buck next year? Just another pathetic mess...

    To me it is just amazing to see a company reporting its worst quarter in years (!) and having buyers...and holders, like yourself. There's nothing else out there to give you hope? The margins are trending down again? Recession to go away? Name a multiple you're willing to put on it. 500? IDTI is going to zero. Good luck.

    IDTI looks like one of the worst stocks in which one could be invested. What a disaster of a company. Why the P/E move just...somewhere into the hundreds? It's going to zero or whatever it's cash....$2.00. The CEO's rambling about cost-cutting...there is nothing to spin. Up 30% since last July? Why? Bail!

    Sentiment: Strong Sell

  • This will be an instant replay of Sycamore Networks, with PMCS paying out whatever is left in cash as a one-time dividend and gone within two years. What will the dividend payout be by then? $.50? $.25? The large holders of this stock could care less. What's $70m to the total they manage? If you are Joe Six Pack, get out!!!!!!!

    Sentiment: Strong Sell

    Way overpriced....still. Short for earnings.

    It's topline has gone nowhere for three years. The P/E flatlined near ten for those three years. Why 30+ now on P/E? You have no facts to justify that idiocy. Barron's journalists? Those are your financial advisors? What do they make now? $70K? Have fun tomorrow.

  • Q: What do you do when a dinosaur stock's best days are behind it? A: Raise its P/E 250% in the last six months. (Ba dum bum!)
    No solid announcement this time.
    This miss and it takes out 50 and could be tomorrow's disaster du jour.
    Long Apr. 50 puts now and in last 1/2 hour today.

    Same rumors from 1 1/2 years ago. Follow the former CFO to his new company and go short there.
