<<example: long SUNW since '95. Keep peeling off shares and the fools still keep on taking it off my hands at higher and higher prices. Sigh, Yes, we know who the fool really is. But at least I am still in it for a taste>> Not you. That's great. Look what the greater fool theory did to the ".coms" bubble.

Paul, You speak like a true investment professional. Of course I think CSCO will outperform MRVC. Personally, I have owned MRVC for 5 years, and it's a 6 bagger overall. I did buy one fourth of my position at 6 and change, but I don't see MRVC as a stock that will be around in a couple of years. I know that is heresy on this thread, but there is only so much value in talk. Did you see what happened to the internets and incubators once people realized they wouldn't make money for 10 years? Take a look at CMGI and ICGE charts. Not too impressive. CSCO is making money and involved in every facet of networking. I wouldn't be surprised if MRVC is bought out by one of the big guys. I believe MRVC has a window of opportunity if they can get a couple of IPO's out soon, i.e., before the optical frenzy ends, and am holding until they prove they can't. This is the most speculative stock I own by far.
