Will - Do You Really Want To Dredge Up 1997? If you are looking for more current information I have posted several recent brokerage reports so just look there (under my name). Also helpful should be comments from the last earnings report conference call. As you know stock is currently very expensive, PE wise. But that is often the price one pays for explosive future growth and a dominant company in a technology area companies find necessary to incorporate in order to stay on the cutting edge. IBM's recent announcement/ collaboration is just further confirmation. By the way - welcome to the thread. Good luck to all. Peter.

Why RATL Plunged in '97 Hi Will and thread, I am prompted to write by the previous post. I think it a darned fine idea to dredge up the history of RATL and learn from it, and I commend you for your intentions. Lots to be learned by examining the past. There are various ways to access old news items regarding particular stocks. I'm sure you can find them if you look. Also, This board was extant back then, and some ideas about what was going on can be gleaned by digging back thru posts of that time. (Also a bit of humor now and then--- I seem to remember someone or other shorting at ~$9.) regards, and 'Hi!' to old acquaintances! diana
