Haha, well my 2c (which is about what they're worth) haven't changed...the company is solid, treading water, slow growth, better diversified, will make some money eventually, but this isn't a 10 bagger like many would like.

They're the poster-child for competition, allowed table scraps at the RBOC table.

The most important thing here IMO is that the stock is light-years more volatile than the underlying business. Which means that the most money to be made is by buying low and selling after a decent gain. Holding everything (or worse, adding) in the expectation that it will go higher is greedy and foolish.

I unloaded 3/4 during the latest run, and unfortunately added a bit too soon in the $1.60-$1.80 range. No worries, the company isn't going downward anytime soon so the stock will be back up well past that at some point within a year, I'd guess. Who knows, maybe within 6 months. No point in trying to time these things.
