Dear savolainen

The above is a rough sketch of Braoadcom. As you can see they are worth 2.27 billion market cap while ORCTF worth about 1/8. You willalso not that both companies lose money at about the same rate. They are both roughly in the same business broadband silicon. Can you explain the enormous difference in market perception, especially after the GTE deal and all the other tenders pending. These guys don't have a clue about maximizing shareholder value. Who is their IB? If you have an inflated share price currency you can expand by buying other companies on the cheap. These guys have to get a little better with the $$ PR. The guy who handled the earnings release and then gave out with the award release is not the man for the job. This is pathetic.
