Bill:> Why did you invest in AMTX if you feel this way?< Mistake #1--Mostly because of all the hype on the AMTX thread. What a great reason to invest, right?:( Mistake #2--My crashed belief that xDSL would be deployed much more quickly than we have seen. As to my AMTX investment, I actually held more WSTL stock than AMTX stock. Burned by both sides of the candle as I got in at high prices and my options blew up in my face. I was in WSTL when it was near $80 a share many, many moons ago. Hal

Bill & Steve: RE: xdsl investing Agreed, there have been a number of pivots in this field. One question of particular interest is......... of all those who believed so strongly in xdsl, and particularly DMT (ala Amati), and the impending xdsl deployments............ where will they park their $395 million (becoming available in the next 5-45 days+/-), besides the U.S Treasury? Scatter to the wind? Personal items? Back into the xdsl field? What would happen if 25% came back into the field? Who would be the strongest target candidate for appreciation? Would it just abandon the field altogether? Thoughts?
