Eric: I recall you sold MCRE to get 3COM and one other stock. Do you think 3COMs stock easing has influenced your overall view of the high-tech market ? For example, the market hasn't any real evidence (yet) that consumer software is going to be significantly affected by the Asian turmoil. BTW: I didn't do it but today I considered selling all my MCRE, taking the tax loss against earlier profits, and loading up on MACR $ 8. But I held MCRE as I really like their products and heck, if the CEO has a tad under 1 mill shares you'd think he could do something to help his (our) stock ? Any thoughts on a buy-back ? Who would decide that, is it a board decision ? Can the CEO just show up for work one day and order someone to buy 400,000 shares with company money ? BTW (#2): I like to watch MCRE daily big trades at fast.quote.com 600&newstype=480%20x%20360%20GIF&chart_type=Close%20Only&colors=Black%25%252C%20Green%20on%20Transparent&vol= Volume&study=Exponential% 20moving%20average&ma_period=50&key=& Anyway, what do you make of what appears to me as less frequent large block trades ?
