Vasco, I'm felling the same. Sure seems that Valuespeck has been right all along - all he wanted was some answers to some hard questions that the dirty dozen cannot seem to answer. I guess I have to sell, none of our experts can give any reason why Myerson or anybody else would be dumping shares when the future looks so obviously bright for FTEL. Maybe I can buy back at $1.00 and do something smart for a change.

Vasco, I agree that the full story is not being given on this thread. Some on this thread are locked into positions which they can not sell all at once, if I am not mistaken. RB's info, in my opinion has neither been meaty nor generally portraying FTEL in the proper light, IMO. I've been posting here under much derision since the stock was about $ 6.00 per share and the Intrine order was still expected to be consummated, and the collocation with WCOM was considered the holy grail, and since they used to post about a coming storm and since . . . VALUESPEC "waiting to be vindicated when/if that storm of sales doesn't materialize by June 30, 1998, since by then the demos will have been out for a while by then"

vasco, I completely disagree. I don't follow anyone blindly and calling RB a hypster is just plain wrong. If anyone, ANYONE is putting their money into something they know nothing about then they get what they deserve. My decision to attend the SHM and tour the Franklin facilities was one of the smartest things I've ever done. I met, spoke with and saw the diligence and integrity displayed by everyone at the CO (and it's subsidiaries ggg). If I was not impressed with what I saw I would have taken appropriate action regarding my investment. Instead I have increased my position by 25% and am mapping out my plan for the next 6-12 months. I haven't lost money due to "Hypsters such as Beaughman" as you say. I have taken a lot of kidding from friends and family about "why is FTEL going down". My answer: pull up a 2-year chart and look at it closely. Read the thread from last fall, before the last run up. Look at the difference between then and now and invest so that you can sleep well at night. zzzzzzzzzzzzzz gary
