Well, look like you were right about it then! :)

That great deal was the excuse for the last run. I can't believe the market didn't react at all to it. It should give back all that gain!

I'm going to short on Monday. I wonder if I can get shares?

:)

Bill

Have been enjoying this thread a great deal, and concur with your opinions on ZITL, ZONA and BTIM. I am curious why you lump @HOME with these frauds. While @HOME is very over valued, it differs from the former stocks in:
1-having the backing of the best VC firm in the valley
2-having serious partnerships(unlike ZONA) with large well capitalized companies
3-having real products

This is not to say it is not a good short(it may be-I have no opinion either way) but rather to observe that it has fundamentals, unlike the others. Eventually, we will have broadband into every home--will it be fiber, coax or what I dont know. but there will probably be some of each--you can count on the justice department to ensure there will be no one winner in this bandwidth market--so I think @home is almost guaranteed some market share, since any domination by the RBOCs will be unfavorably looked upon by Justice. They will have customers--how many I dont know, but certainly more than ZITL ZONA & TRBO put together.

Bill...

>>What AT&T deal? I opined all along that this was nothing but a worthless rumor designed specifically to artificially raise the price of the stock.<<

Rumor of deal, stock goes up 10. Deal goes away, stock will go up more.

BTW, your analysis in a later post is right on. Good company, overvalued. Sounds like Yahoo. Given it has a "good story" IMO this one will run awhile before reality set in as it always will.
