Alanrs, Only time will tell. What happens when the likes of EXTR, CIEN, ONIS, FDRY, RBAK and other start to warn. Everyone is talking about how the next "opportunity" is metro. Remember these "opportunities" - Location Based Services - CDMA - Optical Networking - DWDM - B2B E-commerce What makes you think that "metro" is a good investment?

I don't know if "metro" is going to pan out. However, if it does, to whatever degree, RSTN should benefit as they reportedly have the best product. In all of this (investing) I seldom have enough information to make a truly intelligent decision. However, all those analysts probably were looking at something positive a few short days ago. These prices seem to portend bankruptcy and delisting (I exaggerate a little). I just think the odds favor the metro market being addressed rather than being abandoned. JMO. I've been wrong before.
