Folks, Here's a link to a pcweek review of MRV's product vs. Bay Networks. zdii.com The conclusion of the mag was to recommend the more expensive Bay Networks product for its user friendliness over MRV's, even though MRV's had a better price performance. Any network admins. here agree or what?

My equity evaporates....not with MRVC though...IT happens when I short AOL or another company...they then proceed to go on 10 point surges......IT HURTS!!!! I have watched my equity erode once with MRVC...WHEN I USED MARGIN a month or two ago....THAT HURT BAD!!!! 800 shares dropped over 4 points... My STUPID, STUPID MISTAKE.....Life goes on...I learned that I only use margin when I am 95% positive about something (1 std deviation for error)....I have all of my margin sitting untouched....and my day trading capital hasn't been used in a while either.....I may use them if the market turns around.... I think we will see a bounce on Monday but I still don't like the market in general right now.....I am 100% MRVC right now in my trading part of my portfolio...YUP, you heard it right......I know about diversification....I believe that I will invest in what I know....I know this company...I know is is WAY undervalued....ONLY if the market would recognize this now....
