It is a silly theory. They are desperate to hype the stock. Unfortuantely their rumored buyer bought BAY instead. Kind of like being the last guy at the party and all the girls have gone home with somebody else--unless, of course, if your are short like Mr. Pink

Peace, your theory is silly. Once again, Pink is right, but for totally wrong reasons. Eventually, causality will rule. MRV management are Engineers. They like to BUILD STUFF, not just market someone else's identical box with a different ad campaign. They think that if you build a better mousetrap, the world will beat a path to your door. They have been blooded, let's see what they learned, eh? I realize you are frustrated, but I see no evidence that MRV management are crooks. Richard.

Wrong Peacelover. They won't due that. They are scared to death of lawsuits. That is the reason they have such a low PR presence. That is changing, obviously, through the hiring of Stapleton but their belief has always been, "don't release the good news unless you're prepared to release the bad." I don't agree with that belief, just look at Intel, nothing but bad news: Lower earnings, product delays, slowing growth, lower margins. The exact opposite of MRV yet they hold their value. Why?? Not just because it's widely held but because they also do a great job of holding their investors' hands.
