I did indeed see those blocks: probably one 250K block, printed at 8.625 and 8.6875 (the first trade was the 8.625-hope that was not the true trade). Hope it is a buyer, but I have no idea. The PEG ratio is not helpful here, since 98 estimates are $.49, about the same 1997 actual. 1999 estimates are $.78, but that is so speculative for a small company like this. Remember, last year the estimates were $.80 for 1998! LARS has not shown any material growth since it has been public-running $.13-.14 per quarter at best. This stock won't move much unless the company proves it can earn in excess of $.15 per share per quarter consistently and continue to grow from there.

Here's a quote from an article at Interactive Week by Eric Flemming............ Larscom Inc., a lesser-known industry player, may be a stock to watch. It bought privately held NetEdge Systems Inc. in early December for $32 million in cash and stock. NetEdge, a Research Triangle Park, N.C.-based asynchronous transfer mode equipment maker, is expected to fit in well with Larscom's plan to become a leader in switching technology. Larscom wrapped up its third quarter with earnings up 27 percent to $2.5 million, or $0.14 a share from $1.6 million or $011. However, its stock was down about 25 percent for 1997.
