(OT) Yes Dave, I got your message, printed it, read it twice and it made a lot of sense. A lot more sense I might add than what I got from my son-in-law Danny who, as you might recall, advised me to "zap 'em, they'll learn in a day." Gonna do it your way. No shortcuts. Thanks. (Lee)

FON: <<Clinton, Miss.-based MCI WorldCom will pay $76 in stock for each Sprint share. Also, each share of Sprint's wireless unit, Sprint PCS Group (NYSE:PCS - news), will be swapped for one new WorldCom PCS tracking stock and 0.1547 share of MCI WorldCom common stock.>>> One can play the hedge game: buying FON at $58 and to be converted to WCOM/MCI at value $76. One is pocketing a difference of $18. I did this when TCOMA was acquired by T (ATT). But the process is too long. It is like a long term investment of more than 8 months for the case of TCOMA and T -- stock holder approval, FED FCC approves the acquisition. This is usually the case that hedge funds with plenty of cash doing it ---especially for the PCS share,when MCI going up then automatically PCS will go up. AERL is also in this category, by converting to cash it is worth only $18.00. BUT by the formula if VSTR going up then AERL going up: now it is 29+ as of today. In this case one could hold on and being converted to VSTR or sell it when one thinks that it is at its highest high. One can make money by studying the terms of the acquisition for case of merging/acquisition. But the easy way is to sell as soon as the anouncement is made and one satisfies with the percentage of gaining.
