Your arrogance speaks volumes, elmatador. When you "warned" last year, you touted how AFCI could not compete with the likes of LU and ALA were going wipe AFCI off the map, how vendor financing was one way how LU and ALA could take business away form AFCI. This is was the "meat" of your argumentation last year. Admit it. Just because you work in telecom, doesn't mean you know where things are headed. My brother works in the software arena and dumped ORCL a month or two before its meteoric rise two years ago. He used to work for ORCL, then SYBS. He worked in the industry, yet couldn't foresee what lied ahead for ORCL at that point in time. Many of those who work in an industry possess this "you can't see the forest above the trees" syndrome. You can pound your chest all day, which you apparently like to do, and impress upon us your years of experience in the telecom business, but it don't mean squat looking forward. In-fact, if you claim to possess 29 years of experience, that puts you pretty far up there in your years. IMHO, having experience in telecom beyond 10-15 years don't mean squat. Its a whole different business today than when you started 30 years ago, so your "years of experience" really don't matter. But of course, you'd be the first to disavow this. This is part of the "forest and tree" syndrome. Please continue to launch insults my way. For someone your age, you are quite immature, and in my view pretty much a loser to hang around these boards all day squabbling with someone half way around the globe. My suggestion is when you post here support your conclusions with FACTS, not your uninformed, biased opinion. We remain unimpressed.
