Keep this all in perspective as we just went through a "soft Patch" with SONS and were all happy it's over and wishing we brought more during the recent bargain sale. Don't fret their will be more chances, this will not be a straight line up. But hang in there and buy the dips the "World According To VOIP" is coming to a high-speed connection near you. Hang in for the long term some company has to lead the biggest thing in voice communications since automatic central office switching lowered the cost and improved the customer experience. Ever seen the pictures of the Telephone operators on roller skates at the switchboards? My Grandmother was one and she's still alive. I have been in the Global Telecom business for 25 yrs and the central office switching continues to look more and more antiquated. Hey with the computing power we have in our homes today why do we need central offices processing our calls? No Telecoms are spending on these POTs (Plain Old Telephone) Networks, it's VOIP and network convergence. Money is the driver as always and VOIP is cheaper and more feature rich, so again consumers we'll get more for less. Just as when we went from manual switching to central office switching. VIOP will grow and it will become cordless with WiMAX or like technology being the transport or an existing cell network will be picked up by the dual handset that will replace your current version cell only phone. Hell the cell companies are already testing and designing these dual phones and networks. So what will this do? What did it do to the manufacturers of the last phone revolution? They got rich!! So buy VIOP Manufactures!!!! Currently SONUS is the TOP in Class in the sector which targets Telecoms. I know SONUS management has been somewhat cunning, but hell if you were a nothing company a few years ago you'd have all sorts of problems managing the growth change too. They have at least kept their eye on the ball with the technology and that has fueled the growth. We all know they have future sales to report due to the long process of realizing sales in the Telecom industry. Hell I know first hand how long it takes to approve a manufacture then the products, then deploy, integrate, and test before you finish paying. This process tends to be measured in several months to years depending on the network size. Actually SONUS has made a good entrance in the tightly protected telecom circles because their product line is superior and they have opensource programming. Believe me this is very important in the Telecom business you wouldn't believe the problem it creates if it's not opensource. So what I'm I doing? (Not that anyone really cares) I'm accumulating this stock. I made my original plunge about a year ago with a par of 3.87. I was feeling great when SONUS was approaching $7. I wasn't feeling good when it was $3-something after buying 50% more at $4 in April. Then I double my total investment on the way backup at 3.62. So my current Par is 3.77 and again I feel good. Why because of the sales pipeline and the accounting issues being somewhat past news. All this being true I will again look to add to this investment on future dips. So don't get too excited this is a long road to the "World According To VOIP" Good Day and Buy the Dips. - from yahoo Msg: 446223
