As I have stated previously, I have been a shareholder for several years. I don't sell because I like to feel pain when I see how this company/stock performs. I enjoy feeling miserable. A key reason that I'm hanging on to this company, and its pathetic management team, is that, at some point, this company will be taken-over. Newbridge cannot compete against Cisco, Lucent, Nortel, etc. Recently, Nortel won 40% of a billion contract from Cable & Wireless. I posted it on here at the time of occurrence. It was significant to note that Nortel was designated by Cable & Wireless as primary contractor and a systems integrator. The latter designation was for a European part of the contract and meant the anyone wanting to to business with Cable had to go through Nortel. Do you think that any company would designate Newbridge as a primary contractor or a systems integrator? Newbridge's product line, currently, is too narrowly defined.
