Lets see,
We sing the praises of the Groupe Bull announcement this past summer. The final result to date. ZERO sales
We talk of how EDS is a champion of Class 1 FC. Result No orders from EDS
We talk of the superiority of the new switch versuses the competitons switch. Result ZERO sales
We sing the praises of managament. Insider buying lately ZERO
We book 2.8 mill in the first 3 weeks and only come up with 600K more the rest of the quarter.
The next quarter will not be as strong as this one.
We burn 3 mill cash a quarter and have 4 mill on hand.
There will be no significant sales relating to the new switch till some time in 1998 thus giving the competition time to catch up (that is if there is a market for these switches).

I'm sorry folks, I think it is time to move on. FC might be a large market but it doesn't appear to be much for switches. Yes there are many announcements regarding FC but none involve ANCR or FC switches.
There are too many negatives here to continue holding. I'm with you Mike. I gave the company a shot but I have had enough hype. Yes this year was a scorcher. Unfortunately it was the ANCR investor who got scorched. I'll take a look back to see if it is worth buying a year from now but I'm closing out my position in this company. To all who remain long, I wish you luck. My only advice is to stop being cheerleaders and put heat on the company After all, you own it.
