Well it sure looks like the competition products aren't up to snuff. Update: Armstrong Discusses AT&T's Network Outage pubs.cmpnet.com In a press conference today, AT&T CEO Michael Armstrong said he believed a software-generated problem started in two Cisco Systems' StrataCom BPX frame relay switches and propagated itself in about 145 nodes across its frame relay network. --- And this is even more interesting AT&T Searches For Cause of Frame Relay Network Outage pubs.cmpnet.com Without criticizing one of its competitors, MCI's vice president of Internet engineering, Vint Cerf, today said all providers need to improve the redundancy of their data networks to prevent problems like this and bring them up to the reliability standards of the public switched telephone networks in the next year. Not only do providers need to make their own networks redundant, but they need to provide backup systems among themselves, Cerf said. --- If they take his advice this means they have to buy more equipment. Now what is the chances of them buying another lemon or turning to another vendor. Does anybody know Newbridges track record on reliability. This kind of PR isn't good for Cisco. Mike

Newbridge is an obvious double from this level(perhaps more) but the time frame is most certainly dependent on Newbridge doing something it has not done for years. Newbridge has got to not only increase revenues but they have to increase their profit margins. You know for all the great research we do here on threads like this with large cap companies like Newbridge it's virtually impossible for us to talk to a CEO like Terry Matthews. So when we read press interviews of contracts certain to be announced from newspaper articles printed in Canada it's easy to get excited. I did just that a few months ago and took TM at his word. Here we are 6 months later and I am still waiting. I am not saying these things will not happen. I bet they do but it's hard to sit idly by and watch your money stagnate. Anyone here ever try investing in penny stocks? Well my friends it is very possible to talk to a CEO of a struggling company and test his mettle. I have done just that several times in the last few months. I would like to share one of my current picks with any of you inclined to do a little due diligence. American BioMed is a small BB company in the minimally invasive surgery area. Today the stock closed at .70 on volume in excess of 600,000 shares. The stock is forming a new base and could be headed much higher soon. If you would like to take some time and study this company and the stock you can start with the thread I started last month when the stock was selling for .34. https://www.siliconinvestor.com/subject.aspx?subjectid=19556 Yesterday AVEI bought a similar company for $62 million. http://biz.yahoo.com/snp/980413/avei_med_m_1.html American BioMed has a much more diverse product line and is a definite take over candidate. Although I believe the company is worth much more than $62 million ABMI investors would receive over $3 a share if it went for the same price. Check out some of their products. http://www.AmericanBioMed.com/products/product.htm Bottom line is American BioMed is headed towards profitability on it's own by 1999. The stock remains highly undervalued in my opinion. If you have never tried a penny stock because you thought it was too risky I understand but this one might be different. Yes it is volatile but I like the story here folks. Check it out! Regards, Jeff
