Chris and Eve, CMVT is #1 to Telecos; institutions own approx. 53% of shares; Northern Telecom is actually a partner of CMVT; almost no insider sales nor planned sales since June of last year; 7 "strong buy" ratings and one "moderate buy"; 1.0 First Call rating; 5 year avg. P/E = 27 vs. current 22 P/E (based on yr. end 1/99 consensus earnings estimate); projected 25% to 35% growth for next 5 years; have proprietary technology, with high "customer switching cost"; LU's Octel is #1 with businesses, but not with Telecos; marketplace is huge and exploding; purchase of Boston Tech makes total sense because they are wireline, which CMVT didn't have; Company owns between 800,000 and 1.1 Mil "Short Interest Shares"; I personally switched my phone service from "call waiting" to "message line" with "call-forwarding -- busy" and "call forwarding -- no answer" (I'll explain in next post); excellent R&D prospects.
