Interesting post by Gentleman Boyle on yahoo regarding a buy out by ATT. Two strategies... First, international presence. His feelings are that ARTT with their involvement in Scandinavia is attractive to ATT due to their alliance with Unisource which also has involvement in Scandinavia. Secondly, Local and immediate presence. Teleport's acquisition of Biztel and the apparent green light to enter the local NY market make WCII most attractive. What do you think? Pam

Steven: <<What I have to chuckle at is these people making stupid plays just to spite us, it seems. Jason is so intent on being right that he writes naked calls! And buys puts! Give me a break, nobody in their right mind would do that if they had any idea what they were doing.>> Perhaps you better study up on your option trading before you start making comments like this. My position has nothing to do with "intent on being right" and everything to do with taking advantage of market inefficiency. I'd try to explain it to you, but I suspect it might be a waste of time.
