Wrong.....my guess is that Brocade will do $20-30Million in revenue, and that their captive price (last round valuation over $125Million) makes them too expensive. ANCR could be bought for under $50Million.

I think it's important to remember that the total market this year for both Brocade and Ancor may be less
than $10MM.

Neither company is breaking any sales records, and I don't think that the early results necessarily reflect
which horse will win - when we're only at the first pole...

I do think both Ancor and Brocade will probably be swallowed up. I also believe this could happen in mid
99, and I think it will happen at the $12-14/share level, possibly higher.

Although they were in two very different technology spaces, in some respects AMTX and ANCR have
seen similar histories - high fliers brought to ground, pounded down and "broken". Both companies
were/are primarily engineering/design houses.

However, six months after AMTX hit a low of around 3 3/4, after being pumped to a height of $40+, it
sold to Texas Instruments for $20/share.

Lick your chops and settle in. I think the next 6 months are going to be absolutely wild.

If you think this has been crazy up to this point, you ain't seen nothin' yet...:))
