Technology Stocks : MRV Communications (MRVC) opinions? -- Ignore unavailable to you. Want to Upgrade?

PERSONAL OPINION: Maybe it is just my "Victim Consciousness" but it seems to me that the MRVC longs have had our brief "place in the sun" and then an almost militarily-precise descent into the basement. I feel that those interested in driving the price down have, to this point been phenomenally successful. I think they will continue to be successful UNTIL pressures for the price to rise will become too great. Then it should be fun! From my point of view that moment will come when: -- Mideast situation calmed down -- NAZ recovers to say 3600 -- Luminent IPO date and price set I don't think those events are that far away. Then, if you could add, at that time some further solidification of the OA offering and prospective release date, that would be adding a booster rocket thrust. This is a great wealth-creating play (for both longs and shorts, but it sure is a painful way to get there if you are a long, and it can get very painful if you are a short. Best wishes, Jim

Do we have to be rocket scientists to understand what has/is happening? Is it not kinda simple? Since march, look at the Nadaq. Simple? If, shoulda coulda, woulda...Yeah, but it didn't happen. I have been hurt as much as anyone, relatively but I haven't heard one negative thing about the technology MRV is/has been working on. Have I missed something other than most of us are frustrated because we are aware of the "potential" here? I haven't a clue what will turn this bear market around but when it does and if I have any money left, IMO MRV's rewards are worth the risk. Do I sound different...yeah, I made mistake after mistake thinking I could racket up my shares on margin, hoping to take advantage of what we know about this company and thinking that it is ready to run up 20 - 30 points. Guess what, my timing stinks and yes I have been surprised things haven't turned out according to when I thought it should. Again, paid dearly for another mistake but I should of recognized the danger signals that have been glaring in my face about the overall market. No, I thought we would get things done before the market would tank big time...another mistake. Big money is now in MRV and they are a lot smarter than me. MM manipulation...I used to think so too but not to this extreme. We now have REAL UNCERTAINTY now in the world not just the talking heads trying to talk the money back to old economy stocks. Frustration, pissed, feeling unlucky, etc. Yes but if I had not been so tunnel visioned I should of sold out at 60-50 and I would now be thinking I was a genius. Just one dumb shareholder's "opinion" John
