paul: If Keith's "around here" is to include SI, Yahoo and anywhere else that supports his thesis it would be possible to find a dreamer or two. I was talking about this board, which is where he made his post.
With relation to NiceGuy, I think it is unfair to refer to him as a dreamer. He makes the bull case consistently, which is at least as useful to have as the bear case which Keith implies sporadically whenever he is affected by the latest negative report from an analyst, journalist or market research firm. NiceGuy also keeps up with the discussion on here and SI, supports his case with reference to statistics, company and industry news and in his prognostications usually gives a minium and maximum range with appropriate qualifications. He usually acknowledges the opposing view. And his forecasts of revenues have been very accurate since I have been reading them (Q3 2003 to the present). His forecasts of earnings have been well within the norm on here and SI and others have been more optimistic than his. There is nothing in NiceGuy's analysis that I, and others, seriously disagree with except the timing of the increase in the stock price. And none of us have a privileged insight into that.
I don't recall any of the posts by factsnotfiction.
