Thank You Ral always liked that tune.I thought I was crazy when I leveraged a stock as it went up.From about 4.5 to over 30 took in more then @@,000 shares still got some ,most sold for very tidy profit, out on margin over @@@,@@@@.Started with only @@,@@@.Couped close to @@@,@@@ with a margin intrest cost of 1300.00.Not bad for 3 months work.Worms snakes and cross dressers while they might be investing in their own way will always be depressed over others ability to take a chance and call that investing.A lot of it Ral I think you Know is in the gut.Thats something most investors do not have.Their the ones who need mutual funds.THATS PROBABLY WHAT THEY MANAGE NO LOAD MUTUAL FUNDS FOR mommas AND GRANDMA'S .From the credit card guy to amway to popiels pocket fisherman america is founded on the true investor.Not a bunch of soothsayers who only KNOW what has already been written.The legacy of the net will never be finished being written,The invent of the tempest tells me one thing that FTEL wants this market, AS frank has stated and will go after it with a vengence.BTW The FCC Regulations include something called equal access.Telcos can not deny anyone access to their switches or their pops.There can be friendly contracts or their can be not so friendly contracts.The cou de gra is that of being colocated with the carrier that has the most local access or a similar arrangement with a lec.With the locations of wcom and their ability to pass calls off to the lecs in the areas they controll more rev will be retained.With the building of the mci wcom lec affiliated networks the capacity of fnet being able to retain call rights to the customers remains in the hundred's of millions.Every customer who uses wcom or mci for long dist or any lec that already has a pass on with them will have to pass the same rev to fnet.Concievably every call that could ever come out of every wcom pop or from any affiliated lec could pass through fnet on to another city pop out in a wcom pop or an associate and on to its customer.Who wins well wcom gets its share and fnet gets a good one too and so does the lec.This is going to happen and it will happen as fast as ftel can build dvgs to place in the pops.I know that one thing is going to happen without even thinking,that it will not be very long at all before revenues come in like money raining from heaven.Who wins? wcom fnet,ftel you and us. This is good for every company that has to compete for VoIp.Without this their could never have been an industry created.The VoIp industry will feed on itself for 10 to 20 years and the communication industry will go on forever.I came into this life bare and will leave bare and There's only one gamble I won't take. Have An Enlightened Day.
