Time to step up to the plate and take a swing! I for one think that this is a great time to buy nn and increased my holdings by 20% today. It will take some time for the sprint news to be digested (TM addressed it well, check pat's notes on the cc). For now give me another 15% drop and I will add another 40% to my holdings. The company is clearly in a rebound mode but no one seem to get it, daaa. What a great sale! We will all look back by october and wonder why we did not load up on this stock. Regards Glenn P.S. Pat great job on cien.

The questions you come up with.. "What is a gun wale?" Ok.. ever hear the term "waling away" at something ie "The boxer waled away at his opponent with flailing arms." Wale, or the inflexive transitive verb forms "waled/waling," comes from a few historical possibilities scot or icelandic? From the 15th century it related to making a linear mark upon the skin from striking, which raised a welt (probably with a yelp!).. which carried over to the uppermost stikes or markings on a sailing vessel (as it appeared from the outside) through which gun ports were cut. Gun wales... shortened to Gunnel.. as in ".. seas breaking up to the gunnels." What's interesting is to play with some like sounding words that may or may not have relationships... wale_ welt_ a raised mark from waling waling_ striking at wheal_ means to harm or injure change two letters while standing over the gunnels while sailing and trying to harmfully catch a big fish and you are whaling! --- Jim

The inavailibility of short interest shares to cover the shorts was what made KTEL the hit that it was for a while. Not allowing your shares to be in street name helps accomplish keeping the shorts in a buying position. (-8 Dennis 8-)
