I hate to point this out, but Fore missed Q2 supposedly because they could not make enough product. Then the just made Q3, but margins fell significantly. Now they pre-announce a missed Q4.... Looks like a pattern....wj
Don't worry! There is another pattern which will keep FORE afloat.
Wait until next month option expiration then takeover rumor will resurface. Of course this time will be different than the last four years'. The new suckers will come in and frustrated shareholders will move on. And new suckers will say something intelligent about their research on FORE thread.
Good luck

Heck that was a nice trade from 13 to 17 for me anyway. I thought that spike up was because of stronger earnings, this was a surprise drop consider. I am not sure I trust these guys enough to get back in to the stock. Any opinions? |

This is pretty confusing. I believe that Gill JUST THIS WEEK stated to analysts that he is comfortable w/ current estimates. Yet making an explicit indication that the quarter may be back-end loaded is contradictory. It is an implicit warning that the company may miss.
Gill must find that managing the company with multiple personality syndrome is fairly challenging. Or perhaps he is not aware of the other(s) inhabiting his body. |

Looking again at the Dow article, it's a description of why Fore dropped today. I think the acquisition (particularly with so little information as it was privately held) and the surprise of more share dilution explains today better. At the conference, he already did some cautioning about not expecting too much from this quarter, but that the "exponential" rise would start in June. Did anyone see a quotation of Gill's about a back-end loaded quarter today? If not, I think the article's writer didn't do his/her homework and was just assuming Gill's earlier comments were the cause of the drop. |

Back end loaded, eh? As long as they deliver, no problem. 50% in final month of quarter is not too unusual...just hope it isn't their little way of softening us up...
As for Fore the Aquirer...I would prefer Fore the Target...still, I don't see anything wrong with this latest announcement. Good technology, engineers, clients...shouldn't be very expensive, and as much as I hate to admit it, will be good, down the road. Like many of you, however, I would like to see something good TODAY...still, couldn't help it, and picked up some more at an average of $14.75... |

"I don't see anything wrong with this latest announcement. Good technology, engineers, clients..."
Except the... steelhead managers!!!!
It's very hard to find a worse management.
And, about Euristix, just another company to be trashed by FORE!!
The same old story: another sensational acquisition and the big and fat acquiring company waiting around the corner... |
