You and another person here keep posting seemingly good news for ALA and NN, but so what, nothing happens. Look at Nortel today, it announced another major acquisition, and the stock gets rewarded. I'm comparing ALA/NN to its competitors, not singling out a Cisco comparison. How can you be happy with ALA, a firm that is posting good news but the stock price goes nowhere. On the NN thread, the major cheerleaders kept highlighting NN's product strength while downplaying its blunders (6 out of 10 missed quarters). Also, there was ongoing criticism of anyone making negative comments about NN. Finally, I am a shareholder of NN, which means I will be a shareholder of ALA. Having said that, I can criticize all that I want. Your suggestion about selling my shares-I don't have to sell! If you don't like criticism of ALA/NN, too bad, I'm entitled to do it.
