Scorpion, Given past bvll**** pronouncements by mgt. of inflection points, missed guidance, going big time after mobile with no results to show (for many years now), poor products poorly launched, etc., I have no idea why you expressed so much confidence in your post. This begs the question: since you are expressing so much confidence, I trust you are "filling your boots" at these levels. Are you?

Brachiopod, or "to whom this may concern": We break a lot of rules over here. Ask George III, he'll back me on this. Chalk it up to provincialism (albeit a rather large province).

Yeah, ok, agreed...if somebody has "one foot in the grave" (another common saying over here for 'they're about to die'), then "you'll be long gone" would not be a very kind thing to say.

Trader, I am afraid you may be correct, but I hold out a tiny glimmer of hope you're wrong. Tiny and diminishing daily.

Pension at 11:14 below: I don't see why your walk down history lane would bring about any insults. I found it quite accurate, including your editorializing. (I found your editorializing especially refreshing, to be honest.) What happens from here is what concerns me. Given the state of the competitive landscape within which we operate, I have little faith in current management, but will give it a chance with the few remaining shares I've got left. Bouncy, We are two continents separated by a common language. I don't know how it's treated over there, but over here telling somebody "you'll be long gone before X, Y or Z happens" (Or "you'll be 6 feet under before that happens") is a very common saying, with absolutely no ill will intended. Over here it is not considered the least bit mean, it's just a widely used expression, using a bit of hyperbole to make one's point.

9 years as of 22 May, 2016. But who's counting? Actually, I was in long before then, ever since Virage in 2000. So, it can be said it's closer to 16 years. Shows you I really know how to pick 'em, eh?

After all these years I find I am so fed up I'm numb to the whole mess. I don't feel much of anything except a sense of resignation. I used to read all the posts on here all the time. Now I rarely read any of them. I've pretty much thrown in the towel. Perhaps I've not given it enough time.

BDC on our brilliant CEO: Why don't you tell us how you really feel?

How funny; I didn't see your post before I posted mine: The use of the saying 'six feet under' (or as you said, "six foot under"...use of the word "foot" in this context must be a Brit thing).

Trader, By "long gone" do you mean "six feet under"? If so I'll concede your point. Money knows he'd never sell any because we're always making good progress, and it's going to show up in the 'near future' (when pigs can fly).

Trader, Where's he going to go? He seems married to this POS stock and POS company. Can we spell unrequited love?

In the past, which is all I have to go by, Quantcast numbers proved meaningless. As in totally. Pensioner should know this. He's been around forever. As have I.

Shagger, Actually, the proper name is Fullof5hit, but we can't say that on this BB. Great to see some of the old gang; Becky, Andy, BDC, Trader, etc. Too bad we all didn't surface due to jubilation on decent news. Good for you, Trader, for putting this behind you. For some reason I'm still hanging on to my last 101,500 shares (but who's counting?), just in case some idiot buys this train wreck of a company.

Tough, Excellent post. Exactly the sort of well thought rationale we've come to expect from Fullofit in iii. Only difference is he would have meant it. Anyone who would actually say that revenue growth doesn't matter in this industry, and matter in a huge way, is either delusional, ignorant, obtuse, or simply Fullofit.

Wagas, Those of us who've been around a long time call him Fullofit. Why? Because he is.

Trader has it right. So does BDC. And a host of others. This thing is heading in the wrong direction, whatever the reason.

Fusty, I was brushing my teeth when I read your below post. Almost sprayed my toothpaste all over my screens. Actually, I had a several good pals over there. Four of us were named "The Three Monkeys" bu Fullofit (which later became "The Four Monkeys", he had trouble counting that high). We took pride in our designation, especially considering from where it came. They're all, wisely, out of blinkx. Too bad we loaded up on XEL...(talk about a dog with fleas...).

We had huge battles. There were several of us. In fact I met two of his fellow nemeses in Spain for 4 days during 2012. I finally learned, after several years and who knows how many hours of wasted time, that he is truly a waste of time, not to mention effort. The truth never gets in the way of his stories, not ever.

Hey Shag, I couldn't help myself. I went back to iii for the first time in ages and looked up my old posts. Without going into the archive I could only go back to 2011. Here is the oldest post I could find. It is very appropriate for this discussion. at least it is from my perspective: Full Of It: Do you actually mean to tell us that you are standing by your earlier post of purchasing 240,000 shares at 22 pence on 5 June, 2007? It appears so. Dude, you are so full of $hit it is amazing. The low of that day was 48.5 pence. PERIOD. As we say in the States (you know, that country full if stupid people that can’t do anything properly): "When you find yourself in a hole, stop digging." You truly are a head case. OK, the above was basically a repost from last March. The below are answers to your questions of today, where you further rationalize after getting caught in a lie. Regarding this comment: "As for your statement, there is a difference between averaging prices and actual prices. If I sell shares at a profit and then roll that money into another what actual price do I pay? If I buy 100 shares for £1 and they go to £2 and I sell; I then buy 400 shares for 50p how much have those shares actually cost me? 25p in actual money, of course. Even a beancounter can work that one out." The actual price you paid is 50 pence, as any "numbskull" or "beancounter" knows. Also, from your below post: “On the basis of their "cloud computing" statement, I bought into Autonomy at £17.50 because I knew they had entered another dimension of scale. last week I sold all my Autonomy at £25 and rolled the lot into Hewlett Packard at around $25. So what "actual" price did those HP shares cost me? If you have problems working that one out, tell me, and I will help you.” In this case you paid $25 for HP, as any rational person knows. Or are you really that dim? Too clever by half is more like it.

Fusty, Even a broken clock is right twice per day. Better average than Fullofit, by a huge margin.
