| SCO 1Q Financial Results and Conference Call March 1st |

SCO announced yesterday that it will release its financial results for the fiscal first quarter ended January 31, 2007 on Thursday, March 1st after the close of the market. SCO describes itself as "a leading provider of UNIX software technology and mobile services." The release will, as usual, be followed by a conference call. Details in the press release. SCO's stock was up 6 cents, 5.83% and a SCO supporter on Yahoo's SCOX message board today wrote this about the upturn: It would be better if not for paranormal investigator Pamela Jones and her spin-cycle-only information washing machine wasn't still running.... Private brokers can pretend to have secret knowledge backed up by innuendo on message boards like Y! by paid market support staff. Linux lunes can be easily dismissed, but Groklaw has an air of credibility that potential investors will trip over during google searches. That's why paranormal investigator PJ is such a thorn and preventing the stock from realizing its full potential. There are many public companies that sell large amounts of stock with essentially nothing but press releases and a rented office. SCOG really has a physical product and IMO that positions them nicely. Again, the problem is Groklaw. [...]

Nice catch there Mathfox.
Real products??!! As far as I know all SCO has is a few old unix variants short
on just about everything the sane IT person expects in his toolkit these days
and the near 'vapourware' edgeclick etc stuff with few staff to develop and
support any of it in a world where the competition is evolving its products
rapidly, especially Apple and Linux but even MS makes SCO development look
slow.
I'm not an investor but anyone claiming to be and interested in SCO as a viable
stock has to be nuts/delusional. Even if it wasn't embroiled in its stupid legal
actions it would be struggling to survive as a viable business relying solely on
the above. As a result of its legal games and regardless of Groklaw SCO is going
down the pan. The question isn't if but when and anyone investing it seriously
needs their head examined. It was anyway. Challenging IBM guarenteed it. No
amount of financial massaging will ever stop a badly run company going
bust/getting taken over to asset strip etc sooner or later. SCO was on the skids
anyway. Darl just made it happen faster and more spectacularly. And gave us
Groklaw to enjoy :-) The only good thing he's done :-)
Richard.

It seems that they are really trying to maximise their use of Pamela's absence.
Given the behaviour displayed so far that doesn't come as a surprise, but it
amuses me that they appear to forget that analysis can be applied
retrospectively.
From a PR perspective it can get VERY painful if you're made to eat your own
words and as far as I can see they're busy building up quite a collection.
BTW, 'paranormal' implies a more than average insight in mindsets. That's a
nice compliment coming from the one sole friend SCO seems to have left. Maybe
the last stock holder who didn't dump stock quick enough?

When is "The Open Group" going to get around to legally and
permanently stopping SCOx from issuing this statement?
SCO owns the core UNIX operating system, originally developed by AT&T/Bell
Labs and is the exclusive licensor to UNIX-based system software providers.
Sure SCO, there is only one Unix...

So to paraphrase, "We proudly foist worthless stock onto unsuspecting
people all the time. Darn that Groklaw for not letting us do it with
SCO."
Dilbert for the last several days has carried a series involving using PR for
stock price manipulation. Coincidence?
It would almost seem harassing PJ is connected with manipulating the stock
price.
Up 5.83%? Hmm[ Reply to This | # ]

| Well... isn't that special. I think that SCO support person unknowingly
gave
Groklaw a very positive complement.
That person is also correct there are
many, um dubious companies
out there with worse financials and some even
without a physical
office or product that has had a better time at fleecing
innocent
investors than SCO.
So it just goes to show, you can have all the
trappings of a legit
business but when they bet the farm on falsehoods, extreme
stretches of logic, denials of reality it cannot survive the light of
day.

This sounds just like Darl. The most important thing for a successful product is
PR. The actual quality of the product is secondary at best.
"Air of credibility"? Well, duh, how do you think it got that way? Why
do people believe Groklaw and not you?

Hah, the poster there, vanburgerstein, is NOT a SCO supporter. He's a spoof.
On the Y! SCOX board, all but one or two of the SCO supporters ran away, and the
ones left are too stupid, repetitive and boring to argue with, so eventually the
good guys had to resort to trolling the board for SCO themselves, just to keep
in practice- they call it TFADding, for 'Troll For A Day'. vanburgerstein is a
good TFAD, he's only just subtle enough to sucker many Y! posters into thinking
he's the real thing...
I'm not sure PJ would approve of you giving front page article space to the Y!
board anyhoo!

Perhaps his parody too subtle. Read this vanburgerstein gem:
"I have no personal agenda other than making money through the application
of faith-based investing. This involves a great deal of praying on a daily
basis. I don't pretend to know how God (the father God) operates but it's common
knowledge we must direct his attention to issues we are concerned with through
various incantations, and that apparently he needs to be reminded on a regular
basis. Frequent prayer also provides the Gods with a metric in determining what
we believe the priorities are. Right now, I'm praying for a particle of evidence
to support SCOG's claims and we'll raise that to a shred if the old man
delivers."[ Reply to This | # ]

"...and a SCO supporter on Yahoo's SCOX message board today..."
What is your point?
PJ has taught us not to take any notice of the ravings of the Yahoo's. Are you
now quoting them because it shows Groklaw in a good light?
If you are not careful the accusations of the bias here will be shown to be
true.

After reading the comments, I have to conclude that there are a lot of people
here lacking funnybone.
Vanburgerstein is a SCOX meta-troll in the same sense as Esker Melchoir, but
without the open necked hawaiian shirt, hairy chest, gold chains, scantily clad
women, and mega-yacht.
Dudes, and dudettes, parse that quote VERY carefully and if you do not laugh I
will just have to slap you with an 'addock.

>>There are many public companies that sell large amounts of stock with

I happen to be a private investor and my brother is an investment officer for a
substantial bank. The comment from the poster is ridiculous. Any public company
buying or selling stock, make trades based upon several criteria. Press releases
have little if any effect on the decision to buy or sell. Solid financial
investigation and analysis is the primary reason for making investments and the
same goes into the determination of whether the investment is no longer sound.
The poster may be confusing fact with fiction, and the facts about SCOX do
happen to have been made public in this forum. The fiction comes from relying on
either the SCO press releases or the press that have been spoon-fed the pablum
from SCO. There is enough other press correspondents that have seen the facts
and have expressed them, that Groklaw is not the only place to get them. It is
probably the most comprehensive and complete following of all the public facts
and as a bonus, it has analysis and commentary.
The very last place any investment counselor would look to make an investment
decision is a message board, like Yahoo.
The comment made by the poster was obviously make by someone that is either
incompetent, or is out to mislead others into thinking he knows something.
People that make statements like the one above are immediately discounted by
others that are knowledgeable.

This is what summoning PJ has ALWAYS been about - the stick price. In my opinion
it's very interesting that they only (allegedly) tried to subpeona PJ when the
stock was hovering VERY close to the dollar limit. By generating some "good
news" and publicity they hope to up the stock from that dangerous level.
It's about not getting delisted from NASDAQ. They were in grave danger quite
recently, and I suspect the company is keeping the price afloat by having a
standing buy order(s) at $1.00 to prevent closes below $1.00. PJ's saga gives
them some relief from what even they know is a bad investment - SCOG stock.[ Reply to This | # ]

I think the "spin-cycle-only information washing machine" is accurate:
PJ washes all the junk (lies, fear, uncertainty, doubt), breaks down the legal
terms sometimes intended to deceive us or speak over our heads, and leaves us
with the clean truth, which we can easily find the holes in that need patched,
or that say the 'garnment' just needs to be trashed.
And they meant it as an insult![ Reply to This | # ]

The comment on Yahoo is telling....Groklaw has probably done more to protect mom
and pop investors by simply exposing the truth than any other single person or
entity. Big investment houses and professional investors have always had the
upper edge over small investors and that gap has widened over the
years....Groklaw has leveled the field for at least this one stock.....Good on
PJ and all....

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or

In response to
Groklaw being a stumbling block to SCO, I agree. But that stumbling block needs
to be there. To keep SCO from acting like so mnay other companies, wanting to
shut down their competition by any means possible, even if that means unfairness
and imbalance to competitors. You see, there was a time when someone came into
an established market, said "I have invented something revolutionary," then took
it upon themselves to attempt to rewrite history by monopolizing a distribution
channel, and saying that they were the innovators to begin with, when all they
had was an idea, and not an actual product. I think as we play this out (and
THIS IS the crucial concept) that we will see THE ACTUAL TRUTH and not some
perceived truth. You know, all Groklaw.net is doing is providing a more
efficient method of posting legal documents that are ALREADY available to the
public and bringing these matters to the attention of the public so that the
public can see what is going on, so that law can be held accountable BY the
people since the power of the United States government is FOR THE PEOPLE. And
also, Groklaw gives a forum by which many people can communicate openly on the
subject. You see, if something like Groklaw was around back in the mid 80's to
mid-90's, we would not have the Microsoft we would have today. Bill
Gates's/Steve Ballmer's power in the court systems and building their
monopolistic distribution channel came from obscurity in the public eye. The
internet helped to create awareness of what is going on with the scope of
actions and efforts of people through communication of ideas. It has become a
camera to the world. Microsoft is still the monopoly holder of their
distribution channel. SCO is simply trying to do what many companies wish to do,
and that is become the next Microsoft. But they don't realize that what it took
for Microsoft to establish that monopoly, the bar has been raised by the
existance of the internet. One will have to destroy the internet as it stands
today so that PEOPLE can not communicate as only as openly and free as they do
and companies can once again have a level of obscurity so that they may do their
"dirty" deeds in the dark. That is why something like "Open Source" would not
have succeeded and could not succeed until a distribution channel that was
"friendly" to it came into existance. This is the core of my existance as an
American Citizen. Freedom is not free. It was paid for by much bloodshed and
sacrifice.
I say POWER TO THE PEOPLE and screw the companies
that do not think of themselves as SERVANTS to the PEOPLE. I am YOUR
MASTER, companies of the world, YOU ARE NOT MINE!

Even if we played devil's advocate and assumed for sake of argument that Groklaw
*was* an IBM-funded and/or IBM-run site - what impact would that have on the
copyright / contract / trade secret / whatever claims that are at issue in this
trial?
SCO may try to extend their case to libel/slander charges, but that wouldn't
help their main arguments one tiny bit.
So why would the court even consider allowing such a deposition when it has no
impact on the issues currently before the court?
Or am I missing something here? (Other than the usual FUD of course.)[ Reply to This | # ]
