The worst part of this nightmare is yet to come. Soon some scum sucking lawyers will crawl out of the ooze to start a round of senseless lawsuits that will keep investors nervous at the same time they distract management from their primary job of running the company.

Looking for rationale to buy, sell or hold. After listening to the cc last night, I came away thinking things were not so bad. Company has taken dramatic action to fix the sales' management problem--which they described as localized and short-term in nature, fessed-up publicly as soon as they realized the shortfall, and given direction for the remainder of the year--indicating continued revenue growth and margin improvement. But the reality of the market today is, a 50-60% haircut! Is the disaster that bad? Believe they said they still have $200 million cash. What did they have end of last quarter? Anybody know? At what price does Aspect become a value/growth play, or a take-over target for their technology and client base? This could become a factor. Thanks for your replies JR
