Come on ET. That's a bit harsh. I've been reading Tim's posts for over 2 years now and the worst I can fault him is by saying his belief in the final outcome of these technologies has clouded his ability to call sell signals for the short term. He surely has missed a lot of dips o HLIT as it's gone up and down, but that's his call. Sometimes I wonder why anybody would be very long term and still bother doing the daily on SI, but in the end I'm glad Tim has been posting because he's guided me to some information I never would have found otherwise. Yes, he's a bull on Harmonic Lightwave as I am, but this is not got anything to do with knocking Antec. Regards, Mark

It's driving me crazy watching this test and retest of 20. What's this hold up? I noticed there are now 22 1/2 options for all months. Is there any update on whether TCI will do something with it's partnership with Antec? Regards, Mark

Et, let me explain some things,sir. First of all,I am not bad mouthing anything,but trying to stay objective. Perceptions of reality,often cloud ones mind to the truth. Well, as I see it,TCOMA has twisted ANTC's arm,into taking on the responsibility they should assume of buying equipment. HLIT used to OEM to ANTC,and both companies ran into trouble counting on TCOMA to buy product from them. HLIT's answer,was to diversify to other companies,and across continents. They have accounts in such diverse places at Wharf Cable in Hong Kong,VCC in Buenos Aires,Thyssen in Germany,a triumverate in the U.K.,and Rogers/Shaw in Canada. As to losing in HLIT,no I am up on HLIT. I bought at 19, a core position,and bought more at both 11,and 13. My average is 15. But to buy at 11 took faith,in the management and in what they are selling. All life is based on faith,for without it,we panic. Childish emotional responses to alternative views,do not a good poster make. It seems that human nature,wants to reward those views that reinforce our own,and to dislike views that do not. Hiram
