Eli Cummings – if Bret is as lousy as you say then you shouldn’t have anything to worry about. Maybe you and HIStalk will save some column space for posts that don’t bash independent sell-side researchers trying to do their job. Or did you think that everyone would read your post, agree with you and drive the stock up for you? Maybe Bret Jones should respond with a post calling out investors who try to use the site to influence share prices….

Wanted to comment on your Allscripts stock reference b/c back on 10/29/08 after you posted this “Allscripts CEO Glen Tullman and friends presided over the Nasdaq opening bell Tuesday. I say keep bringing him back since the Dow was up 890 and Nasdaq jumped 144. He just purchased an additional $511,000 worth of company stock, which represents a 17% increase in holdings to around $3.3 million” I bought some stock. So, thank you.

Accretive Health: My understanding, based on a presentation I saw by them, is that they are a mass-scale outsourcing firm for revenue cycle. Definately focused on the IPO.

Epic’s policies aren’t anything like the big 4 CPA firms. The policies are pretty much unlike any policies you find in a typical company.

Will some people leave because they don’t want to travel – sure. That’s just part of life. Travel simply isn’t for everyone. Some switch roles, but many love project management and move on to do that sort of work in a role that doesn’t require as much or any travel.

Will some leave with a chip on their shoulder because they didn’t realize the “work” part of “workplace” actually mattered at Epic? It’s a place with a short fuse for those who don’t meet a pretty high standard. Everyone is expected to work hard and do well.

EPIC – no surprise there. Policy has always been just like the CPA/big 4 – hire three newbies, throw them into the fire and the one that walks out is the keeper. You’d think the clients would be screaming, but all I hear is a music from the love fest in Madison WI.

Accretive Health – now there’s a name for a company. Accretive – the most overused word of Wall Street M&A people. (Can’t do the deal unless it’s accretive…)
That’s forward thinking, you pick this name today, figuring that in 3 years or so, you sell out, and how can you NOT be accretive!
