Been meaning to do some research on FLA and your post on this board woke me up. I stopped following it a few years ago. Last I checked they had some rights of way and were riding the fiber bubble and would become a telecom play (see MTP-TAA debacle).

I don't know what happened after that but that they seemed to have survived and the price is now back near all time highs.

Anyone with historical info or opinions please post. I've got some family trusts with this and wanted to evaluate this for 2005.

Thanks.

No Jake, I dumped FLA yrs ago. Recent Wall St shenanigans demonstrated the wisdom of long term holds. Stock market is a roaring bore these days.....the greedy types spoiled it for everyone. Watch out for the pump & dump crowd at SI.
