Pluvia - you claim to be concerned about investors - yet you get satisfaction from personal slams and jokes. It is clear to me that you're dealing with internal turmoil. What is it? Bad childhood? Under-achiever? Your angst is obviously trying to cover some internal scars. Try toning it down a bit a being considerate of your fellow man - after all, there is more to an enjoyable life than portfolio profits. You will just disregard this - or better yet take a slam - but really think about it. I suggest counseling.

Terayon Plunges on Concern About Status Standard Santa Clara, California, April 17 (Bloomberg) -- Shares of Terayon Communication Systems Inc., the No. 2 maker of modems for cable-television lines, tumbled 13 percent after questions resurfaced about the company's status in creating an industry standard. The shares fell 12 1/8 to 81 7/8. That follows a 48 percent drop last week. They've fallen 71 percent since trading as high as 285 1/4 on March 9. Shareholder Shlomo Birnbaum sued Terayon Thursday, accusing the company of making misleading statements about its proprietary cable-modem technology. The suit charges that the company called its technology that transmits information on cable lines an ``industry standard' when it was only being considered for the designation. The charges are ``absolutely groundless,' said Terayon Chief Executive Zaki Rakib. ``We will prove they're absolutely wrong.' The suit seeks class-action status for anyone who bought Terayon shares between Feb. 2 and April 11. It was filed by Milberg Weiss Bershad Hynes & Lerach LLP, one of the most active plaintiffs' law firms. ``People don't necessarily know what to make of it,' said Anton Wahlman, an analyst at Warburg Dillon Read, who rates Terayon a ``hold.' Wahlman said investors were bringing the valuation of Terayon's shares in line with rivals like Com21 Inc. and Scientific-Atlanta Inc. Terayon shares still trade at 328 times expected earnings, compared with 82 times at Scientific-Atlanta. Apr/17/2000 17:06 For more stories from Bloomberg News, click here.
