We understand. Everyone's reasons and circumstances are different. Please still look the MRVC and FOCI booths over when you go to the show, and toss us a bone. <g> Y'all come back now, hear?

My sentiments exactly, I'm with you Pat. I made the mistake of selling 20,000 shares at $39 just before it took off, I'm sure it couldn't happen twice, only sold 10,000 this time. If it does , then I'll be a bonifide contrarian indicator as well. Thanks Sector for all of your help and inspiration, you and MRVC have made me a very happy camper since $6. Regards, Bill,

Hi Pat, Come take another look in a couple months. Really no reason to buy more at this level until they actually (Officially) spins something off, IMO. VKCO's new target price seems to me the only thing holding up the stock today.IMHO BEST did buy a ton the last few days. I don't know if this is good or bad?? MRV's name is popping up all over the place. Newsletters, etc. We will need a constant flow of information of what the status is Re: our 14 premature babies to keep the stock's price up...unfortunately, we all know this ain't gonna happen! IMNSHO Oh well, "hang in there youngins" Much Luck, Pat John

Humble opinion We are now visible (barrons, cnbc, etc) We got new information(14 subs, 3 IPOs this year) I think today was consolidation and tomorrow we begin to rock.

PAT: I have said it a few times before, but once again, many thanks for your consistently well-informed, excellent participation. I share your concern about the fact that maybe management is not being 100% straight with shareholders. If I contrast how this company behaves in that context relative to a company like CYMI (for example), there is no comparison. The Cymer people are very crisp, clear, focused, communicative and give you every reason for confidence. The MRVC people are secretive (relatively), obscure in their communications, and do not by any means always deliver on what is assumed to be their commitments. On the other hand their commitments are sufficiently vague that maybe they never intended to! HOWEVER, I believe they have a VISION of what they want to do, and are in fact putting the pieces together. WHETHER those pieces will actually come together remains to be seen. I personally believe there is still huge upside in this stock, presently still exceeding its downside potential significantly. But we are now in the fiber optics momentum play, and the market play itself is around the STORY. HOWEVER, if the story does not come to pass in a fairly short period of time (specifically IPO's) then when major players start bailing out it will not be pretty. Please stay in the picture if you can. You may want to jump back in at a suitable point. Or you may be delighted not to be in MRVC. Either way, we value your participation-- a lot! Best wishes, Jim
