I hope you all gargle after your barfing, and hey can you keep it off the shoes please! Sillen, I regret to inform you that DCI is not an ISP (of course I'm not exactly too sure what it really is, but that is another story alltogether). The article does not relate here. And, dont even mention WPC, cause no one else is talking about them anymore either. I see some of you have beat me to the punch and most have seen the stalling and stupidity in the (few) answers we have gotten about the CC people. Of course 'ole slow typing, overworked Joe should no longer be asked to answer such difficult questions. OK let those be for now. Here is a simple one... It seems that the buyback program was made at BELOW MARKET price offers. Explain this, someone please, anyone even Joe Med, please. You mean that there were such LOYAL DCI shareholders that wanted to sell their shares that they were willing to LOSE money to do it? Now that is loyalty. If you guys have any more of those LESS THAN MARKET value shares available, hey I'll take a few thousand, in fact, show your true loyalty and give them to me for like 50% of the going rate. That will guarantee your place in DCI heaven for SURE!!! Gee no wonder Joe wants to sell the Canada company, CZ actually had the NERVE to not take Joes great stock offer! This is loyalty to shareholders? You mean DCI can buy shares at prices LESS than it would cost everyone else? This may be "smart" for DCI, stupid for the seller, but not very nice for the rest of us retail paying shnooks. Yes sir whoever just said Joe should stop commenting on SI was right, I don't think my portfolio can take any more words from him. Hey I wonder if its time for a QP.... Yeah, thats the ticket..... Give me a break! You're right, barfing is the only comment that can be made here today (er , I mean yesterday..) kr PS. G Cain... We are talking about CZ shares, you know that super rush money that was needed? This stock has had days with several hundred thousand shares traded and not even a blink in the price.

Sillen, I agree with JM, super article. Thanks. Joe, Re: Your earlier response to me, I don't think Houlihan, Lokey, Howard, & Zuken is a rinky-dink IB firm. Quite the opposite, I think they're probably a top notch INVESTMENT BANKING firm. However, I question whether they're a top notch TELECOMMUNICATIONS CONSULTING firm (?). I think we need both. As George E. pointed out and per his own admission, Joe Murphy doesn't claim to be technically oriented. So, where are we getting this type of expertise? There may be an obvious answer -- I just don't know what it is (?). If you look at the following excerpts taken from its web page, I don't think you'll find they lay claim to being telecom experts. I'm not trying to slam anything nor do I have my mind made up about anything, I'm just trying to find out who is orchestrating the building of a telcom company with some "value added" (== whole greater than sum of parts). I contend it it's just being managed from a financial and not a technical perspective, we're going to be missing an important (and necessary) part of the picture.
