One would expect a standard "BUY" or "STRONG BUY" carried on the business wires which hasn't occurred. Mysterious recommendations elsewhere don't seem worth much since they would appear to be unprovable.

A number of small stocks are "taking pressure" (via short selling) courtesy well-capitalized hedge funds. Looks like MRVC has been one of them. One of the angles here is to capitalize on tax-loss selling.

You're left with a stock that is trading at 16x projections for next year, growing several times that. ___again___

Hi Andrew, BEST reiterated buy recommendations in Oct. and Nov. at the institutional/broker level and obviously it has not helped the price of the stock.

John, thanks - glad to read Bear Stearns reiterated their buy recommendation (Oct., Nov.) and continue to support MRVC. Of course in a year or two, it won't matter what the analysts said or didn't say at this point in time. I continue to believe MRVC has top-notch management and engineering, and seems a good value now - despite the fierce competition in networking.
