Armin, I also want Noam and friends to add value to our shares. I don't particularly care whether the growth is thru buying Luminent or price increase in MRVC shares. Actually, I prefer MRVC appreciation since that is all LTCG in my case. My goal is the same as yours. Re: Lucent, I find them in the same position that MRVC was in about 18 months ago, no credibility. I ended up as a shareholder via the ASND acquisition and have actually lost money on the deal. LU is a perfect example of what can happen to a stock if they screw one of the big guys. As I am a long term investor, I still believe LU will get their act together. I usually use the "street" as a contrarian indicator as they are out to make fast money for themselves and their bosses just like everyone else in the get rich quick game. I prefer steady growth, but can stand the volatility as evidenced by holding this stock for almost 5 years. I did manage to average down last year, so my basis is pretty low. Sorry to drag on. knc
