Ray, If only you wouldn't have tipped your hand here, you could've walked into any of the big houses on WS, and told them that, and been offered a very, very lucrative position. No training, no orientation necessary; what a bargain! You would've gotten a sign-on bonus <ggggggg> WS

re: haven't been cynical enough First one is wide eyed, and want to change the world. They get out school, start to enjoy the fruits of their labor, then settle into their job, and start to become cynical, that's around their late 20's early thirties. Then they become dedicated again which comes with being older and a little wiser as the slowing become company employees, as they watch others get fired or fired themselves as they the company promise and you ideals fall to the wayside. Then they become cynical all over again as the companies slowly sucks the life right out you, and you begin to wonder what the hell happen to all those years. I'll never forget my dad telling me the following over lunch near is retirement after working for 44 years (you hard press to find people that work at the same corporation for 44 years in this day in age) at the same company. He leaned forward, looked over his classes, "Son, get every Damn penny you can out of the suckers, and don't let them suck the life right out of you." It was real eye opener for me. I was in the cynical stage then. The reason have brought this is up that this the kind of market that will suffer from investor being cynical. One can not be complacent while others are, or let the market suck the life right out of you. One must be diligent in ones research, and not let the market dictate. It's easy to see how messed up the telecom sector. But, I'm positive that the telecom sector will come back, and be worthy of investments dollars, but the hard part will be see the areas before others. One can't do the above by being cynical, or complacent. Greg
