Dana I agree with you. COMS is far from folding. Cisco and 3COM will control this market long term. The two of them are butting heads only on the edges. Bay, Ascend and some others have good products but no depth and mangement execution IMHO to survive long term. They will merge with someone very soon! Eric P.S. I own both,COMS and CSCO.

Interesting comments about insider buying and selling : "Why hasn't the insider anomaly worked in the real world? A recent academic study1 by professors Josef Lakonishok and Inmoo Lee provides an answer. The professors discovered that while stocks being bought by insiders proceed to modestly outperform the market, so do stocks sold by the insiders. Overall, therefore, there is not much of a performance differential between the stocks insiders are buying and the stocks they are selling. Lakonishok and Lee do not entirely write off the insider anomaly, however. It works, they say, for the smallest stocks, even though it is useless as a stock-picking tool for the largest-capitalization and best-known stocks. According to the professors, a company's current market capitalization must be no larger than about $300 million to be included in this group of smallest companies for which the insider anomaly works.
