Hey Caramia, you might as well sell if it's going to behave like this. We all know that TMCS is a great stock. I'm not worried at all. The fact that MSFT owns 9% can put any investor at ease. Perhaps it's AOL with it's digital cities that worries people. Who knows? IMO, ATT and Microsoft along with computer makers are putting the squeeze on AOL. The Instant messaging threat from MSFT and the broadband threat from ATT are going to be too much. While they fight this broadband thing out in local cities ATHM is gaining subscribers as I type. By the time they do settle the open access broadband issue whereby AOL is allowed(if they're allowed) on, the damage will have been done. Look what happened to Netscape. Microsoft always wins. How many of us have Windows based PCs. It's so easy for them to tweak things in their favor. And then there's ATT. The guys who pay you up to $80 to switch long distance carriers. Now they're paying for your AOL till 2000 when you switch to athm. Anyway TMCS may very well keep going down along with a lot of other great stocks. But it'll be back.

Whoever said that there was anything wrong with taking a profit. I commend your judgement. I did the same thing only I repurchased a little too early. I still have great confidence in TMCS to cross the $40 barrier before the end of the year. I will continue to try to average down as time goes on. Keep an eye on that TXCC (Transwitch) stock. great small company with outstanding wireless telecom products for OEMs. Good luck. PhilD
