DJN >>Hi. Remember how I said that I thought coms was going to mid to low 30s, convievably high 20s if overall mkt was bad enough? << Hi, yes I remember I also remember that I acknowledged the fact your call was right on a previous post (didn't I?). Now, I hope you are aware that it may deep again into the high 20's [However IMO this is not a high probability event] If this is the case, don't chicken out stay with it! Remember, the stock is not aware that DJN bougth it and therefore must stay up there because you were right. In this business no one is right 100% of the time. 60% right and limited trading will make you plenty! Regards, Pancho

Doug- let's see how your record stacks up with your following comment because I don't recall you saying: ' Remember how I said that I thought coms was going to mid to low 30s, convievably high 20s if overall mkt was bad enough?' 'And that I would probably buy in then, when it stopped falling? Well I bought some on Friday at 30.75, and more this am at 33.' First off, I find it odd, very odd that you would wait until 2:06 pm today to let us all know how you so cleverly purchased COMS at 33 this morning, let alone buying some on Friday at 30 3/4, in light of your recent comments: 11/6 # 9695 - I will probably buy back into coms, but feel the near term isn't pretty. Post earnings gives me the 30 day wash sale rule enough time to run <g>. 11/7 #9760 - It is my opinion not intelligent to be holding this stock prior to next earnings release. As I've been saying. Seem to be many deer caught in headlights around here. 11/12 #10069 - It looks to me like everything's going lower til the end of the month anyway. 11/12 #10088 - Getting ugly, I'm becoming convinced that the Naz at least will go signif. lower than the Tues 28 intrady low. Mostly cash is feeling real good at the moment. 11/12 #10106 - Lambs to slaughter. Why not listen? 11/13 #10242 - Coms modem sales are highly problematic. As I've repeatedly said.COMS meger w/USRX is questionable, as I've said. They overpaid, as I said. I MIGHT buy at the end of this current unpleasantless. Csco shot up on whiff of Naz rally, as did Intc, Dell,etc. Not COMS. 11/14 (Friday morning the day of Doug's first buy) #10244 - Add to that the sort of dirty secret that 98 estimates were inflated anyway, as are 5 year growth estimates. 11/14 thru 2:06 pm on 11/17 - Doug undergoes a self imposed quiet period. I guess this time is needed to see which way COMS will go on Monday. Looking back on hindsight when did Nov. 14( re-entry point for Doug) generally become known as the end of the month? Could the Naz have bottomed significantly on 11/14?, what intelligent investor would hold let alone buy COMS before earnings release? what ever happened to the 30 day wash rule, could it have been changed to 7 instead? why buy into a company that paid too much for USRX and holds dirty secrets of inflated 98 earnings? In summary, why join lambs going to slaughter? I could go on but I think you fella's get my point. Good luck to fella's like Mang, Glenn, and many others who have left their heart and wallets on the table for COMS. Dana Adams
