* Off Topic ***** <<The bulk of the gains have been made on the way down to 2. Trying to squeeze that extra couple of points is a little risky and not worth the hassle considering the heavy short interest and small float.>> A firm that is truly in trouble will run out of cash, have no revenues, etc. and go from $2 to near zero in a hurry. Examples, GANDF, NUKO, CTYS, etc. <<A FIBR follower told me there are Lucent buyout rumors. What a crock.>> This is the first I have heard of a LU buyout. Not that I would object to a buyout. Regarding technology, if Lucent is so omnipotent how come you have firms such as Ciena doing so well? <<But more importantly, if FIBR was going to be bought out by LU why would insiders have sold shares recently in the 2's?>> I am sure insiders have their personal reasons to sell. Why would Steve Case unload hundreds of thousands of AOL shares at less than $75 per share. It is now at $90+ and the WSJ had a money manager opining that AOL would get taken out at $120+. So much for common sense and the obvious. More later.
