Dr. Your hyper-link did not go live. I am not a chart person anyway. I hope the GTW longs get some more up-side. I'm happy to have made the switch to CPQ. As far as WCOM is concerned; I own quite a bit of that stock. It's risky as a short term ride. Since they do not make any money, the stock will ride the mkt trends up and down. I have purchased it with the idea that I would hold on for the...18 month......long term capital gain. The MCIC deal will close during the 18 month wait period. With MCIC they will control (I think) 65% of the internet "backbone" in the world. My theory is that they will be the first company in the world to GUARANTEE internet communication to businesses. In other words, unlike AOL, they will guarantee access to internet communication to business around the world. They will be one of the only companies in the world to be in a position to do that. I may never sell it, as I believe very strongly in their ability to deliver "new wave" communication around the world better that any other company in existence today. I hate to stick my foot in my mouth to much on this thread, but it would not surprise me to see WCOM acquire MOT sometime in the future. Do you own any WCOM? DWW II
