Salesforce.com: When Shorting, Timing is Everything

ZDS:

First, I (like yourself) was tested on that specific question various times on the CFA exams; in my case, I was awarded my CFA charter in 2001.

Second, I am not splitting hair since your example is egregious. You didn't just say **presumptuous**, you wrote **extremely** presumptuous.

Cheers

PS If you like, we can let the CFA Institute decide this issue.

Did you forget your CFA training, i.e. Standard of Professional Conduct in that you need to separate fact from opinion [i.e. Standard V B.3 or page 105 of the 5th edition of the "Standards of Practice Handbook"].

I'm sorry, but when you wrote: "the *fact* remains that this stock has a multiple that is extremely presumptuous." That is NOT a fact, that is YOUR OPINION of the company's multiple being "presumptuous."

Mr. Scheidt, if you advertise yourself as a CFA charterholder, you have to accountable to the Standards, and you should know better.

Cheers.
