Daniel, I sold CORV at 3 after riding it down from 20. I thought it was an interesting company to invest in. I still watch it. I would be concerned about BRW and Williams unloading their shares in CORV. Both companies also have significant debt and are CORV's largest customers. I would be curious if anyone had information about this. Regards, Marty

From my memory (so anyone should feel free to correct any mis-statements) Corvis recently stated that they expected to have about $500 million in cash at the end of 2002 based on current estimates for 2002's "cash burn rate". Today's $90 Million deal in stock should bring the number of outstanding shares issued to somewhere near 400 million. With these issues in mind, I wouldn't use $2/share as a basis for cash, I would use a figure of about $1.25/share as a "comfortable" number when trying to put a value on the company. For what it's worth..... mh
