PP - Given WSTL's stagnation, all your thoughts seem accurate. Me...I'll wait it out or die trying. Don't have a lotta dough tied up and perhaps just pissed that this whole adsl thing hasn't (to date) paid off.

Thankfully, there are many predictable plays out there that have matriculated. Happy Sunday!

>> The best reason I can come up for this valuation is that people believe in WSTL to be a player in the xDSL world (x = A only here cuz they don't do x = H)

<< I mean the thought of a market cap of 500m for a company with flat-to-declining sales...>>

PiedPiper,

Last time I looked WSTL had 15 million shares outstanding, giving it a market cap around $180 million. Maybe this makes it a better speculative bet in your eyes?
