Yeah, I also had the impression that the acquisitions are anticipated to accelerate positive EBITDA. I'm pretty sure that's what both the announcements on GoodNet and Midcom stated, but I still haven't gotten around to looking up "accretive" in the dictionary. Of course, if Buyer11 (on the Yahoo thread) turns out to be right, our ship will sink before it ever comes in. Ha ha.

To all: Steve: You tear me up with 'we're gonna be rich'. Love it. Makes me laugh. We've got to wait till you put it in capitals. Paul: I don't have the true definition af accretive either. Shoot, I don't even think I spelled it correct. I think it means that earnings from the acquired will produce earnings now. Gabor: We have long learned not to expect WCII to move normally. The market goes down, WCII went up. Also the reverse. We know what we have and are just waiting. Did you ever sit and watch the water boil ? Seems forever. pkwknk: Bill R has put the word out that it will cost somebody big bucks to get WCII. It is a poker game. T is running out of time. Has to do something. Who else would want WCII besides T ? GTE ? FON ? Problem is that we are spending faster than we are earning. There is a trade off there somewhere. Just like poker. Wait a minute, got to go , have two pairs, should I go for the full house ? Well, I decided, going to -----------------? Where is Bill R when I need him. ac
