My contacts at ANTEC tell me they expect next quarter to follow the path of this quarter. They are ecstatic about the turnaround from loss in Q2 to substantial gain in Q3 and 25% gain in revenue from year earlier. The warning, coming this early, is not warranted in my opinion. As I understand it, the percentage of international business is small (sorry I don't have the exact numbers), yet they see a potential impact from problems overseas. As far as Malone's hip pocket is concerned, TCI has placed lots of orders, taken some deliveries, and paid for not much. Of course, in this business, you book it when it ships.

I think this is one of those "just in case" maneuvers that will unfortunately keep a lid on their stock price in the short term. I wouldn't worry about it too much. With their big gain, they are preparing the analysts and investors "please don't expect this same gain (5 cents loss to 14 cents profit for a 19 cent surge) next quarter". It might not happen and we don't want your expectations too high. That's what this is about. I don't think it will be too bad, and could be a good time to get some cheap if you want to take that risk.
