Joe,

Well I bought a little coms in the 27s to play around with.. wasn't sure if that was the bottom but I didn't wanna be left out in the cold.. then I loaded up the other day in the high 23s.. really went nuts actually (unusual for me.. but hey).. ;-)

I see no reason why coms won't do well in the long run, but it's just whether or not folks can be patient in getting there.. People around here seem to think that acquisitions happen over night and that synergies are supposed to be immediately obvious.. well it just doesn't happen like that.. especially when you are talking about 2 of the top players in their industries.

USRX was a good buy at a BAD time. That's all. USRX would have been a much better acuqisition RIGHT NOW. Right now USRX would be beaten up and COMS would be at least in the $50 range. The coulda grabbed USRX on the cheap. But hind sight is always 20/20.

Steve
