JF: Some of the earlier posts were good. Don't bother looking back! My posts have been from the perspective of, very busy, self employed accountant. I have over 40 businesses that I perform services for, and give advice to. Three of my clients are very close to being public corporations. The holdback, "minority interest". Minority shareholders can demand much and take of alot of time, never mind the lawsuits that can arise because of officer salaries. My perspective seems to be very good for successful business people, I guess most of those types are quiet here. Only people in the communication business understand the wireless jargon spouted freequently here. This tends to make it uncomfortable to a new follower. For the most part, the overly positive comments, exbounded on this thread, don't even attempt to explain, discuss, or confront what is happening to Nextel's stock. McCaw's personal life, does. Stock for stock acquisitions, does. An overpriced stock, in a conservative market, does. Overly rapid expansion, does. Akerson being appointed to the board of AOL, does. There is alot to talk here about ARPU's, iden compression, etc. This doesn't mean much if Akerson's wife cannot sell her interest all at once, if she gets desperate, the market is going to get flooded. We all will be in bed together for along time. How's that JF? Fred thinks that financial planners scan this thread, boy is he wrong. Financial planners don't advise Nextel's stock, it is tooooo volatile. Stock brokers advice Nextel when the blue chips go slow and boring. In summary, JF, when the going gets tough, this thread gets very quiet. My part, in which I failed terrably, was to stimulated some conversation. It didn't work very well, but everyone doesn't like Don Rickes either, so be it. Al
