Gee, what would an gig/optical/DWDM networking co. want w/a VPN tech. co., whose glory year was 1994 & since has been passed around like a stale quart of Colt 45 at a wino convention...? If Raytheon/Whitiker, et al... couldn't make the tranistion into world class networking cos. how can little 'ol MRV be so bold as to purchase Xyplex at a fire sale $$$, ;immediately write off the acquistion & then expect to be acknowleded as a co. w/foresight & a bright future? Don't MRV shareholder know that big bad CSCO will pummel them, that the world is flat & of a singular dimension/brand, vanilla is the only true flavor, legacy routers rule, we speaking/politically correct fund managers go to cookie cutter index school, & who the hell gives a turd if the Russell 2000 index is at its lowest relative valuation since 1980, the future is 1984 & big brother is coming via the corporation to tell/watch/suggest that if you think for yourself you're a nobody, get on the we think bandwagon w/all the pervasive, perversive, pursuasions, and think big, be big, follow, follow, follow...doesn't anybody remember that historically small stocks outperform large caps? Nah, its a the new economy & unless you own an internet portal or a blue blood pedigree you don't deserve a second sniff. Like 'the Man' said, rave on, rave on, rave on....
