>> Why don't you offer something more substantial? << You mean like you? So if I complain about manipulation, postulate that modem sales must surely be picking up, fantasize about COMS being bought out etc., COMS is going to magically rise? Joe, when are you going to figure out that you can't will COMS to go higher by posting 500 word essays on the thread all day? >> At one point you use to << I don't have much else to offer because practically nothing has changed! Modem sales are still lethargic, Asia is even worse off, and COMS is experiencing continued pricing pressure. Estimates continue to be hacked at on practically a daily basis. Promises by COMS management continue to go unfulfilled. Sure, the channel is cleared somewhat, but at the expense of sales. The only thing that has changed is practically everyone has given up on the stock. >> What do you suggest? << I suggest you give everyone on the thread a break and take a vacation for a month or two. Then come back and check on your COMS. >> Is it the USRX side of management? << I have made my feelings known about USRX plenty of times before. My stance hasn't changed. >> What is "doing the right thing" in your opinion? << If COMS management doesn't anticipate a quick turnaround in their business I suggest they sell the company as quickly as possible for whatever they can get. They should be able to get $35 a share, look at that loser company BAY. They even got an offer for $38.
