ÿÿÿÿ Spoke to some people who were at SuperComm and they told me NN was invisible.ÿ

ÿÿÿÿ Peppe --

ÿÿÿÿ I don't know what your sources were expecting, but if they'd taken the time to check out all NN's displays, they couldn't have said
ÿÿÿÿ they were invisible. I was at the show from Monday through Wednesday and NN's booth was crowded every time I passed by.
ÿÿÿÿ Their DSL demo runnning Efficient Network's ATM over ADSL was one of the best at the show.ÿ

ÿÿÿÿ Now, back to the earlier topic of industry statistics, I ran across some articles on Alcatel's website I found interesting:

Z.O ALA stock prior acquisition was near its high when it made the announcement . The stock in June was $45, on closing well before the 1st week of Sept ,it was $33 or less. In another 15 days it was on its way to $19.

Yes at that time too every one including the take over prospectus did not mention the impending shortfall. That is why the Lawyers stepped in and Wall street hammered the stock and rightly so.

If a 8-10 point drop between take over proposal and actual
announcement followed by a 14 pt drop within 2 weeks is O.K by you , I have no comment.

Earnings warnings are never issued before a take over. They may follow after a share swap acquisition.
