Perhaps someone is unloading a huge position in NNC? Maybe a mutual fund? Can anyone check to see if most selling is originating from a single source, or, if it's scattered? -- Paul (PS: I'd guess that even if there was one big seller, they could easily sell through a number of different sources, thus hiding their activities)

I bet this decline has everything to do with ASND saying they're gathering market share in ATM, and a report that ASND is the leader in switch market citing "next competitor no where close". Would be bad if "competitor" were Newbridge. Would be really bad if it weren't.

My guess is that the Asian flu since there hasn't been any negative news on Newbridge. I came across this article which mentions the Asian flu. Are networking's salad days over? news.com --- Now a positive article even though they aren't using NN equipment. ATM Proves Potent For Hospital Network techweb.cmp.com When people's health depends on network uptime, the overused term "mission-critical" takes on an entirely new meaning. --- I could be total wrong but I expect the demand for bandwidth to grow like crazy in the coming years. In the long run, if you are a long term investor NN should pay off. I could be wrong again but it sure looks like NN is at a very attractive price. The problem is that momentum has got a hold of NN and were it stops nobody knows. Sure wish I had more money to plunk down. JMHO Mike
